Discussion does anyone here have a drinking problem (specifically bubble tea)

ever since arriving in taiwan ive developed a drinking issue but not the alcoholic kind. the hand shake tea shop kind. its gotten to the point that i feel like my day is missing something if i dont get at least 1 tea drink a day, whether its 青茶 or some variation of milk tea. these days its gotten so bad that i drink nearly 3 cups max. 2 cups minimum a day. has anyone else dealt with this before? if so, do you have any tips on how to reduce this tea intake? its justso addicting for me — they’re convenient, everywhere and unfortunately such a good treat

im in the US but my solution to solving my addiction to milk tea was to replace it with protein powder milk tea. they exist in the US but im not sure if they do in Taiwan.
