In Response To: Stuff I'd like to see answered: (RyanTheHeretic) : It's very important they don't seem "too human"- it : just TOTALLY breaks my immersion when I read about the Regret smoking and : drinking - while potentially very plausible, it seems WAY TOO HUMAN to : have an evil alien indulging in so-very-human vices. To be fair, we only consider them 'human' vices because we are the only species we know of that can indulge in them. If our simple species could figure out burning or fermenting certain types of plants could produce intoxicants, why shouldn't any other similarly intelligent species manage it.
If you've spread out into wider realms of science fiction; Star Trek, Star Wars, Ring World, Mass Effect, it is by no means unusual to depict aliens as drinking, drugging or sexing around.
