Alcoholics still getting really drunk.Getting really drunk. Why o why? I’m excluding alcoholics from this.
After a few years of spending all your time, money, and energy getting drunk, thinking about getting drunk, you’d think they would look around and see what they are missing.
I guess that may go for drug abusers, too?
In all sincerity I don't think people with substance misuse issues are truely enjoying themselves.
I don’t think so either. That’s the point. If they’re not enjoying it, on so many levels——-

I think part of it is the dependency/addiction which their bodies start to crave but which also alters their perception. The other part is that very often they are using the drug to deal with or mask another issue/emotional pain etc which is why they are taking the drug in the first place. If they liked life I imagine that the chance of them being an addict would be dramatically less.
Just my opinion.

I love hunting, it's a hike where you get the chance to take home meat for the freezer.2 -
I will never understand how people feel the need to spend atrocious amounts of money on a vechile that approximately depreciates 20 percent of its value in the first year. As well as 15 percent each year afterwards, until after 10 years, in which it's worth becomes approximately 10 percent of what it originally cost.4

Well buying and living in a house is also a liability. Unless flipping or renting its very hard to consider the home you live in an asset But that doesnt change the happiness owning a home gives people.....even if it takes money out of their pocket every single month. I guess its that way with cars as well.....7 -

I bought brand new once, because I had the cash to pay for it outright... 19 years ago... I still drive it
I don't think I'd splurge on brand new again, however. Late model secondhand most likely.2 -
Getting up in the early hours of the morning and going for a run.
Running marathons, or even half marathons -- (ironically I ran track and regularly ran 4-5 miles for years, lol)
Singing along to Journey.
Letting dogs sleep in your bed
Weed -- I understand why you like it, but it's never been nice to me!
Going to school for-ev-errr
Small towns1 -
Running. And mushrooms. I try them both about once a year to see if my tastes have changed. They’re both still gross though3

Watching sports.
Fishing.
Shopping (for anything - though I'd rather shop for food or tools than clothing).
Sitting on the couch all weekend, every weekend instead of getting out and living life.
Hahaha pretty much my weekends! I totally get what you're saying. For me I feel like I give so much of my brainpower during the week that it's soothing and wonderful to just sit and do "nothing." I'll usually watch tv, read, chat with friends.
Shopping on the other hand, omg. I need to stop, for real.0 -

I like to fish. Sometimes I'll even put a line in. Non baited, I just like to look the part.2 -

And kickboxing. I'd rather hear babies scream or be obese. No offense to those who love it.
There was a time, believe it or not, where Dr's would appear in cigarette ads and recommend certain brands. The Marlboro man and Joe Camel were heroes, and grocery stores had ash trays at the end of each aisle. Also, if you grew up watching your parents smoke.
The same things can be said about drinking alcohol. No one actually likes the first taste, it becomes an acquired thing.1 -
Internet dating. WTF lol0

Straight up, black coffee that actually tastes like coffee. I contend it is an acquired taste - one which I have acquired.1 -
