Howdo folks. Got some sort of a problem here, i like the odd cuppa.
I'm more partial to soft drinks though, orangeade, limeade, cherryade etc...
But the last few days i haven't even touched the pop. And instead been nagging me mum to "mek us a brew" 
Failing that, i've got up off me ass and made myself one. But i'm having like 4 cups an hour. Seriously.
I quit smoking a week ago today (well, yesterday) without any patches or wotnot, and feel fine. Could that be the reason?

It's Dr Bago here.
I see your problem, but your diagnosis is absolutely spot on. Well done. Don't forget your prescription on the way out.

If you are serious, see your doctor. Drinking a lot is a symptom of diabetes, which is not life-threatening but which needs monitoring. I am a diabetic.

4 cups an hour ? That's quite excessive. It wouldn't occur to me to think it's diabetes, but it depends on if you drink your tea with sugar too. Which replaced your usual lemonade, cherryade etc.
My mom had diabetes as well. You can get a blood test at your Dr for diabetes. You may as well as them for a bit of advice on how to stop any cravings from not smoking. It may be a withdrawal symptons. My dad had that when he quit too. He just put on a lot more weight in the end. He's also a heavy tea drinker too.

I think you might be replacing the habit of smoking with pots of tea. Which is of course better and likely to reduce as time goes on.
I am also a bit stupid with Tea and I have been for the last 20 years. I drink so much of this that I try to restrict myself to one cup an hour during the day or I get a sore tongue. 
I don't have sugar but I find the drinking of it to be a habit which I have difficulty kicking. It doesn't have to be tea, I can drink coffee but I find that tea is easier to drink all day.

Well all you tea addicts need to be careful when you go abroad; you can never find a decent cuppa and it would be a real nightmare for you going cold turkey

Viking,
I think you should take Internetowl's caring remarks about the hell that is the tea 'cold turkey' experience a little more seriously. I am surprised at you! Where is your compassion here? I can get jolly baity when Southport Waitrose are running low on Twinings English Breakfast tea, and a cousin of mine required counselling after attempting to go without Earl Grey for a week. Did you know that there were mass suicides in the North Welsh village of Barasyllt when the local Happy Shopper ran out of Glengettie? Shame on you!

Ooh, you're a hard man Viking. Sacked any Cathedrals recently? You are all the same, you lot. Rape, pillage, burn, scrawl some runic graffiti, then off on your longboats.

Naa,
tea doesn't really work abroad because the water is different, the milk is different and you can't always get water that is actually boiling for a proper mash.
When I go abroad I seemlessly slip into coffee drinking instead. Like a flash, its very impressive. Coffee abroad seems to taste much better than coffee here and tea seems to taste awful.
The only time I ever had a decent cup of tea abroad was staying at my friend's house in Germany. A confirmed anglofile, she has tea pot and english tea and everything and it was quite good. Normally it is much more trouble than it is worth much better to stick to coffee.

try decaf tea if its bugging you... I drink about 8 cups of tea a day and when I used to drink normal tea would feel really poorly if I didn't have a brew for a few hours - I think it was the caffine as I'm fine to go a few hours now without killing anyone.
Tastes exactly the same as "normal" tea aswel
