I've noticed that certain vices do increase with age. I'm not an alcoholic, but I do hammer the hard stuff much more now than I ever did. I'm easily bored, that's the trouble. I've always got to be doing something.
I had to quit drinking alcohol pretty much entirely. You give me a shot of anything or even a beer I have no choice but to decline.... I take one sip of either and I will HAVE to have a cigarette. I thought about taking up cigars just so I could have that similar feeling (without so much nicotine) but it was just easier to do away with the drink completely. I may have a sip of wine in the future..... but thats about as much as I ever plan to indulge considering I dont want to be a smoker again (the last time I quit I got hooked again after going out drinking)

I know exactly what you mean (I do smoke cigars). Although I'm not what I'd call a 'full time' smoker, I do have to admit that a drop of alcohol will almost instantaneously trigger the part of the brain that wants to smoke. I don't know if it's dopamine or what, but the urge is strong, even for me.

UK prices are a blessing in a way - I couldn't actually afford to smoke everyday, even if I wanted to. That's the one thing that shocked me about the States when I was last over: tobacco products are disgustingly cheap. In some cases, cheaper than the soda I was buying (Monster is disgustingly expensive!)
