When I was 5 and an adult I knew would get drunk or smoke, my Mom showed me a video to make sure I wouldn't do it when I was older, and the video showed that this weird black stuff accumulated in the lungs of someone who smokes. I thought it was a sludge monster, and that it was going to come alive out of the vial they had it in and eat her, and I thought alcohol was some kind of special drink that made you happy, but if you were greedy and wanted to much happiness, it would make you sleep so that you wouldn't be happy at all.
Safe to say I was a weird kid
