I think the answer is caffeine. It's legal, widely available, and socially normalized to a degree that other addictions aren't. People drink coffee to function, but no one calls them "addicted" — they're just "caffeine users." It's the one addiction that's celebrated, not stigmatized. You can't even get a job without it. That's not a coincidence.
