Cigarettes, alcohol & late night breakfast cereal binges - also procrastination caused by watching too much rubbish tv (the stuff I could do if I didn't own an idiot box  ); illegal stuff has been done in the past, but you cannot change the past only the present - take care of that & the future looks after itself.
[edit]
Also, playing Texas Holdem Poker on Facebook when the boss isn't looking

This. Generally speaking, escapism & procrastination are my biggest vices. I spend more time watching movies/listening to music/reading books than
I do thinking about my own very uncertain future. I can't help it. I
suppose I don't like reality all that much.

- Music, of course.
- Reading.
- Cannabis, psychedelics, and sometimes alcohol or tobacco.
- Writing poems.
- Quality movies, TV (like The Universe, Planet Earth, Star Trek, etc.), and video games
I wouldn't call meditation a vice, but that helps a lot too.

I've found a new one: abstinence. I've not had alcohol for nearly six months now, so I'm stuck with the smoking and cussing. Strangely I think I've lost the taste for beer, which is frankly worrying as eight pints used to mean a very mediocre day at the office.

It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

what is a vice? it only becomes a vice if you are stuck in something which makes you unhappy ...a bad marriage, a rotten job, too much credit, these are all vices. Smoking and drinking only become a problem if you don't enjoy them anymore and doing them is making you ill, it's easy enough to stop. Nothing wrong with a bit of procrastination sometimes...relaaaaxxx...
...guilt is the worst kind of vice.

Notwithstanding your tongue being in the region of your cheek  , a bad marriage and a rotten job ain't vices matey. It might be more accurate to state that failing to confront things that are making you unhappy (which you have the power to change) could be deemed a vice of sorts ? BTW on behalf of all the weak willed and pathetic souls addicted to tobacco I would like to offer the invertebrate rebuke that it ain't easy to stop.

Drinking (including the occasional getting trashed on weeknights)
Being a lazy bum

Who isn't here???? 
I curse (but as an atheist.....it's not a problem >>> neither is blasphemy), and I do copious amount of unmarried copulation, drinking , smoking ganja , and tons of stuff religious people would consider excessive (at best) or evil (ar worst).
And I love every second of it.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I definitely plan on getting drunk at about 9 am a couple of times next semester and walking around campus. My friends did it and had a blast.
Also, trolling is fun don't be guilty.

That just can't be a good idea if you campus is anything like mine, you'd be run over by bicyclists, skaters, or any of the maintenance golf carts that fly by you.

Ah, college. I got buzzed one night early in my college days and walked around campus alone when it was really foggy. If I had done that at the wrong time I might have been run over by a bathtub. (I went to Southern Tech in the '80's)

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I expect inanimate objects will be more perilous than anything. I will probably punch a tree for looking at me the wrong way.
Assh*le tree had it coming.
