For me its coca cola.

I know its awful for you. But I love it and it makes me so happy. 🥰

Diet coke or Pepsi. I've gone caffeine free but can't quite drop the habit.

Coffee

I love coca cola. Has to be sugared version. Ideally the cherry one. The vanilla one was boss but they stopped selling it here!
I smoke weed, but I'm trying to cut down on tobacco. I guess weed could be considered bad, and I don't see myself stopping that. It has too many positive medical benefits for me.
So probably that and the cola! I can do pepsi at a push but no own branded! Lol

Diet Coke
Crisps
Wine
Good food generally.

I'm just not prepared to live denying myself these.

I probably eat too much salt (crisps and popcorn).

I don't really have a sweet tooth so can take or leave chocolate, biscuits, cake etc. but I could live off crisps!

Alchohol.Drink much less now I'm in my 40s but still enjoy it.

My Starbucks addiction it's expensive but I don't drink alcohol/smoke not great for me as I do have the sugar ladend ones.

Monthly kebabs and the weekly icecream van that sells warm brownies with proper Mr whippy icecream with warm chocolate sauce in a huge tray and parks opposite my house every Sunday around 7pm 😁

Many years ago would have said Diet Coke but have kicked the habit now (I had a bad one). My remaining vices are crisps (love them but try to avoid) and chocolate (don’t even try to avoid but do limit to v dark).

Red wine

I couldn't give up biscuits. I only have a couple of a Friday night, but they're my vice I suppose. I don't eat any other refined sugar if I can help it, but a world without biscuits isn't a world I want to imagine.

I also have an early grey every morning which probably isn't too good for me, but I'm not stopping that either.

You have 2 biscuits on a Friday and you call that a vice???

I'll get my coat...

leafybrew · 11/08/2024 13:10

AND Earl Grey Tea!!! You absolute animal

evtheria · 11/08/2024 13:10

Sugar

Raspberrymoon49 · 11/08/2024 13:14

BananaSpanner · 11/08/2024 13:16

Pepsi Max Cherry. Generally limit myself to one can a day though.

avocadotofu · 11/08/2024 13:17

Diet Coke.

Vaping
Crisps
Chocolate

Toast. Ideally sourdough. One slice with butter and one with marmalade. Breakfast of kings.

CeeJay81 · 11/08/2024 13:21

Sugar. Especially anything with Caramel or fudge. I'm wondering if I'll get diabetes one day, even though i'm not over weight. Won't give it up though, as it's the only thing that keeps me going in this tough life.

Me too, though marmalade is the work of the Devil so I'll have Marmite on my second slice.

Cheese toasties are a close second.

Effing Trebor mints.
Tonnes of them.
No other sweets, no alcohol, no cigarettes.
Death by mints.
