A common argument of those defending their 'poison habits' argue that everything is OK or even good for you in moderation. I argue the opposite however: only good things are good for you in moderation, as even an excess in these are bad for you. Just because something bad is consumed in small amounts it doesn't make it good for you. A poison, a drug doesn't magically become good for you because it is taken in small doses, quite the opposite, over time it will diminish health and vitality. Its the little things that count!
Granted, it is argued that bad things in moderation are good for you psychologically. But that argument becomes illogical if you view it from a drug addict's perspective. If they do not take their drug, the resulting depression is 'bad' for them. Shall we say then, that they should continue their habit in smaller doses, and that doing this would make it 'good' for them? Or it that distracting from the point that they will never experience the true health and happiness that come from the freedom from slavery of their confirmed poison habit?
The same applies to what we eat and drink, consuming bad substances in moderation only serves to perpetuate an addiction and reliance on these substances, which leads to psychological and even physiological dependences. How can this be good for you? It is only argued by the unawakened that those who break free from their addictions and self harm are somehow denying themselves health and happiness, simply because they have never experienced the freedom it brings.
