Coffee, chocolate and and social networking site Facebook are the most common addictions in the UK, a study into modern lifestyles has revealed
Modern Britons are addicted to Facebook, a survey shows These modern vices have ousted traditional favourites such as drugs, sex and cigarettes from the top of the charts in a study on our behavioural patterns.
The poll examined the lifestyles of 3,000 people aged under 30.
The study coincides with the launch of Rehab, a programme examining rehabilitation and addiction on the Living channel.
Respondents were quizzed on substances and habits they spent the most money on, those they had previously attempted to cut down on or give up and the modern impulses ruling lives in 2009.
Coffee tops the list of the 10 most common modern addictions, followed by chocolate consumption with Facebook in third place.
The much railed against vices of alcohol and drugs didn´t even make the top 10 addictions.
And the spectre of the credit crunch looms menacingly over the survey with the practice of checking bank accounts coming in as fifth most common addiction.
Vanity was a more traditional popular vice with beauty products scooping fourth most common addiction.
Rehab can be seen on Living on Wednesday, February 11 at 9pm
