What's the most addictive thing on earth?

[Syringer]

Inspired here: http://freakonomics.blogs.nyti...ictive-thing-on-earth/

I'd have to say the one constant thing throughout history that people can never seem to get enough of, and always want to get more of when they have it--would be power.

Everything else you can eventually get enough of, but power is perpetually always something that you want more and more of.

Edit: You can be thankful we have the right answer now.. http://freakonomics.blogs.nyti...st-addictive-thing-is/

As pointed out above, I think that you can judge how addictive something is by how much damage it causes.

-> Sex <-

Pleasure. There's nothing comparable to the release of dopamine. It's why we have sex for fun, it's why we enjoy food, or a nice day, or a video game, or a kitten. It's why we seek power, why we seek money, why we seek joy. Pleasure is what we strive for. It's the ultimate addiction, and without it, we probably could not live.

WTF @ sex?
