Vice: bad habit, especially used as a form of escapism

Yes I’m one of those, my vice is alcohol, pleased to meet you.

You don’t need to be defensive about it: we all need a way to cope with life, something to let off a little steam. But it’s important to recognize it for what it is and be honest with yourself

Not what it means. You'd also have to prove it's a bad habit even if it were the meaning

my vice is alcohol

Also not a vice unless you're a weird ass prude

You don’t need to be defensive about it

Pointing out your holier-thsn-thou attitude is stupid because you're straight-upwrong about something isn't being defensive.

You don't like it, that doesn't mean it's immoral to do it
