w.r.t food we haven't evolved beyond the 'hunter-gatherers' physiology. If you agree with evolution 10,000 years is a blip in the evolutionary time scale. According to geneticists we are only equipped to metabolize nutrients that we consumed as hunter gatherer's.
If you agree with 'survival of the fittest' then organisms which are genetically equipped to handle current conditions will survive and propagate. However, it usually takes a long time to gather together a set of genes that will allow us to effectively metabolize newer forms of nutrition. Eventually we may metabolize booze effectively, so a 'lack of high after alcohol' may be a scenario we could encounter in the next 10,000 years.
Sorry, some thing's gotta give....
Same goes for venereal diseases. If you become resistant to these diseases it wont matter if you do not have any protection. Or, if your partner develops antibodies to your sperm, you both are safe. The latter is an approach to contraception that is currently being explored.

Because you've never learned to like what is good for you. It is just that simple. Many people who live healthier lives and enjoy doing and eating healthy things hate smoking and drink with moderation. You say all the good stuff is bad for you, but it's only good stuff for you, not for everyone else. One mans poison is another mans pleasure. It's your taste that's bad for you! Change your taste and live a longer healthier, happier life.

Drinking is bad because its not good for your liver, you like it becasue it gives you a buzz. If everyone was walking around drunk then the human race wouldn't survive. We wouldn't be the people we are today. In fact its good for us that these things are bad. Think about it.

It is harmful for your body and mind. But I think moderate ice-cream consumption is OK.
