What's your vice?

For me, it's good wine. Among other benefits, regular exercise allows for regular consumption.

c2bill, even though I have made many negative comments about the ranking system I would like to state that all the work you have put into it, which I would think is many hours of each week is very much appreciated.

My issue is with the abusers of the system, not the creators of it.

You are an abuser of the system. You abuse everyone you come in contact with.

This is a cool thread! Don't let it be de-railed.

I'm trying to avoid the coffee too, but I can't seem to do it for long. A good cup of Earl Grey can almost take it's place.

I'm also into tofu jerky, weird eh?

I'm beginning to think I may have to change my vices...hmm..coffee, chocolate AND I've been known to enjoy a glass of red wine with my evening meal. Ah, who am I kidding. Like any good vice, they're those regular little things that regulate my sometimes chaotic life.

I'm curious about the tofu John. Tofu Jerky? If that isn't a dichotomy... :shock:

Champaigne, well... the Spanish version of it that we call 'cava'. If my wife and I open a bottle we have to open a second one.......

You would almost think it's the real thing, I actually like it better! I'll post a recipe for it sometime this weekend.

I forgot to put down that I also enjoy beer and sometimes wine once in a while. A good beer during the hockey play-offs, perfect!

That doesn't count as a vice, since it is good for your health. :D
It has been shown that people who drink a glass of wine with their meals live longer than those who don't drink or those who drink beer instead! :P

Cheers!

I only have 3 vices although they are classics:
Sex, drugs and rock and roll :D

For me coffee is a vitamin, not a vice.

I had severe headaches for the first three days, and felt sleepy in the afternoons. I would have never thought about it as a drug, but in the end, that's what it was.
Like Francois I too used to love my coffee. I even had a custom blend of espresso and Kenyan beans, plunge pot, the whole bit. Then I figured out that I was lactose intolerant and coffee without cream doesn't work for me.

Nothing compares now to the jolt of good workout right at the start of the day.

The other vice email, and I don't even have a crackberry.
