     Back in high school I couldn't help but notice the number of ways that 
people self-destructed despite all of the warnings around them.  These included 
smoking, alcohol, and drugs, though the list sometimes seemed endless.  You 
would think it would decline as people matured, but many became "maturity 
challenged" and just found new ways to destroy themselves and very often others 
around them.  Keeping that "socially preferred behaviour" at a comfortable 
distance can limit you socially but at least you don't end up becoming 
dependent on prescription drugs.
