There are some things that are universally accepted as unhealthy, like abuse of harmful substances.
But people still do things every day that evdn they admit is unhealthy. For example, I've never met a tobacco user that still buys the industry propaganda that smoking is healthy.
Most of the smokers I know light up while saying, "I know these things are going to kill me."

Fueled By Hate
"There was a player at the casino who used to come in in his mobility scooter, order Red Bull and vodka over and over, smoke unfiltered Camels, and play three video poker machines at a time for 36-48 hours."
"He was overweight, hated the entire world, and ordered food only from the fried chicken place. One day I went to wake him up and he was dead. So, I'd go with that."

"Saw a guy chase 6 energy drinks with a cigarette and call it breakfast while saying sleep is a scam."

Consistency Is Key
"I work on construction sites. This guy buys 6 Cokes, 6 beers and a pack of 12 hotdogs."
"Morning break: 3 hotdogs, 2 Cokes"
"Lunch: 6 hotdogs, 2 Cokes"
"Afternoon break: 3 hotdogs, 2 Cokes"
"End of day: 12 beers"
"He did that for years, every goddam day."

It's A Condiment, Not A Main Course
"I was behind a person in a drive-thru once. She ordered a 'medium ranch dressing'."
"The person taking the order was understandably confused so the lady figured it would help to scream her order. Finally she said 'a medium drink cup filled with ranch dressing'."
"She pulled over to the side after she got her food. I passed her on my way out, and she was taking a huge bite of her burger and drinking the ranch as a chaser. Like it was actually her beverage."
"I have not eaten ranch dressing again to this day."

Start Slow(er)
"Personally, I saw a 70-year-old dude fall 43 metres down a cliff while climbing with two people, all of whom had never climbed before."
"I had to climb over to him, calm the other two, and sit there for 8 hours, keeping him conscious and the others safe while rescue crews tried to get to us."

Rinse, Repeat
"A coworker who lives on the 'espresso → energy drink → IPA' food pyramid: 4 hours sleep, triple-shot latte for breakfast, 16-oz Monster for lunch, two beers to 'relax', rinse-and-repeat."
"Basically substituting liquid anxiety for meals and calling it a wellness plan."

Kidneys Are Filters, Right?
"My mom refuses to drink water. I’m not even kidding, all she drinks is Celsius, Arizona Tea, Diet Pepsi and Bai juice. Everyday."
"She says she gets her water through the tea she drinks. I am 26 and can’t once recall a time in my life I’ve seen her drink water."
"The shocking part? She works in health care."

There Can Be Only One
"My dad smoked 4-10 packs of cigarettes a day, drank a 12 pack a day, ate a combination of sit down and fast food at all times with Beanie Weenies as well, slept about four hours a night."
"This went on for most of 30 years. He stopped smoking and drinking after his second near-death experience."
"He also had recurring skin cancer for 23 years and spent three years in prison (which did blunt the drinking, he had a buddy supplying him cash for smokes though)."
"He’s dangerously close to living an average lifespan, which begs the question, just how long would this medical Highlander have lived if he didn’t spend 30 years trying to kill himself?
