My favorite vice is sloth...
...but a cold beer tends to go nice with doing nothing.

Sex is a vice?

Almost none of those choices are vices, unless they're done by other people, or more specifically, without inviting me first.

Dunno, dunno. They are all so good! And there are so many wonderful vices left out.....
I'll have to think about it for a spell...

Well, I had to go with "Making up fake stories and photos then publishing them on online forums," of course. That may be easier to drop as a habit (or just neglect) than smoking, but I don't actually get pleasure from the latter.
My next choice would have been "other," as I am addicted to MMORGs, and don't even care that I am. BUt I'd live if I couldn't play. I'm not sure I would care for living if I couldn't write.

I really did have to go with all of the above. I'm glad “other” was above that choice…

Oh very well then, I went with other because my really favorite vices, my best riffs, simply weren't listed.
And so forth.

Guess the vice.

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell |

I went with sex, but I'm not addicted.

I chose "drinking", as sex isn't a vice but a necessity for me.

And then there are other vises that are really neat, but smack of extensive effort.
