lots of sugar. A typical large bubble tea contains 11 spoons of sugar. The total recommended sugar consumption in all foods and drinks is 7 spoons.

And plenty of studies have linked excess sugar with depression [1]

Yes. Some vendors allow you to control the sugar content, at least. I had ordered a drink with "light" sugar once (1/4 of normal amount) and it still tasted plenty sweet to me, and probably still topped at 350-400 calories. I usually never drink my calories.
