Hmm...perhaps avoid pain then...and pleasure is one powerful way to avoid pain...so is getting drugged up.
Certtasinyl form a evolutionary pov, everyone wants to avoid pain.

: Or just part of our nature to seek pleasure, rather than
: a drive to get drugged up.

: I don't know. It honestly seems like all creatures (or at
: least higher mammals) have the desire to chemically
: anesthetize themselves from time to time. I'm not
: saying it's advisable or that everyone will give in to
: vice, but it does seem pretty universal. I'm not just
: strictly talking about drugs either. Alcohol, tobacco,
: caffeine, sleeping pills, and certain pain pills are
: all available over the counter in America. Big sellers
: all, but none of them directly give any pleasure. What
: they do is dull the edges just enough to help some
: people deal with stress. It may not be healthy, but
: it's quick and cheaper than therapy.

: -Phil.
