Gambling In this world, there are many addictions; smoking, drinking, and gambling are the top three. Smoking and drinking are the two that are the worst for the body. All three are bad for the wallet, because they all are expensive. Gambling is by far the worst as far as the money goes. The addiction to gambling is the same as smoking and drinking, you want more and you are not satisfied until you get what you want. Why is the gambling age twenty-one? Why do you have to wait three more years after you are an “adult” to gamble? Gambling is bad for you, but every once in a while; it is all right to have a little fun. I like to buy tickets for the lottery, but I have lost a lot of money.
