What is your Vice/fix?
- Thread starter Vault101
- Start date
I don't have any 'vices', if I needed to, I could do without anything but the bare essentials (food, water ... prefereably some non-toxic, oxygenated atmosphere to breathe). Admittedly I'd be bored shitless, but I'm not 'addicted' to anything. I mean, when I have long no-gaming stints, I don't start back up because "I haf ta play mah games!", I'm just bored and it is something to do. Same thing with chocolate, caffeine, the escapist, T.V., etc.
What can I say, I'm dull. I'm a virgin, I don't drink or do drugs, I don't smoke, I don't enjoy parties (drunk people aren't fun, and the cigarrette smell that so often accompanies alcohol makes me cringe).

main vice: alcohol
luckily I am not an alcoholic, as I always try to stay away from booze for a while after imbibing a lot on one day, when I have to get some writing done alcohol is my coffee(keepsyouawakeandsomewhatcreative) though

haha I get that "It's too sweet" thing a lot more than you know. Regular monster, in the green can is the best. If you've had any of the spin offs, they can get ridiculously high in sugar.Vault101 said:
Now Mother, I haven't tried. Is it an Australia only product ? Being on the other side of the planet in the states, I wouldn't really see these things... though I'm completely willing to order a case online lol
I haven't found an energy drink yet, that i haven't/won't try lol
Waiting for someone to say ponies....>.>
Me, it has to be this computer, but three days out in the woods during hunting season I don't get cravings or desires....so I doubt it's a hard addiction to break if I can find something else to do.

Wow. At the risk of sounding condescending, please go look up the definition of 'addiction' before you so loosely apply it.
I hate to be the downer in the group, but if you're going to say 'addiction', I will hold you to the strictest definition of the word. If you want to be cavalier about it, don't even use 'addiction', and stick to 'what can you not do without?' because addiction, as I'm sure many of you will eventually find out, is a horrible *****-goddess who can quite easily destroy you.
Little splash-of-cold-water-in-the-face here, but you take that attitude into real life where you're dealing with others who are totally serious about their inability to deal without something, they are... not going to respond well to your... youthful vigor.
Now to answer the question? I am unfortunate enough to have an addictive personality. I've overcome most of them, but currently on the docket is booze. It's really difficult as it is such a socially-accepted vice in the States.
Many of you will probably be lucky enough to not have that trait, but even then, just remember that sometimes the key to success is to never stop trying. That applies to overcoming addiction as well as most other difficult endeavors in life...
I'll stop being a total downer now...

Interesting I think there was an add I saw that boasted that monster was an Australian product and that mother was made by the coca cola compnay (which it is) mabye I remember it wrongBlackHat2600 said:
anyway mabye mother is a localisation kind of thing, Im surprised its not in the states its quite popular here
I think it was the blue monster I tried, anyway Ive tried Redbull and V and mother tastes the best to me
Cigarettes. I need cigarettes. But if I can't smoke a nice bottle of Coke vanilla will certainly do the trick.
I'm incredibly addicted to sleep...(zzzzzzz) heh..
But seriously, I lack a lot sleep these days so whenever I can sleep in, or all day for that matter, I do it. Some think its lazy, but you try doing what I do

Well when I said "addiction" I didnt mean it in the serious clinical meaning (because yeah addiction is a serious condition)solidstatemind said:Wow. At the risk of sounding condescending, please go look up the definition of 'addiction' before you so loosely apply it.

as in not what are you "addicted too" but what do you "feel addicted too", I ment little things for example caffine or games, I dont know about other people but I might feel a little tired without my daily dose of caffine but I can get by without having it
Well, apart from the obvious, nicotine, I'm heavily addicted to pepsi. I suppose that it's the caffeine that I'm really addicted to, but if I don't get pepsi every day I get this extreme headache that won't go away.
