I was just talking to my wife and she thinks (and I tend to agree here) that conscience and character are extremely intertwined. But I think I get what you are saying, that people can feel bad about their actions (conscience) but lack the resolve to eliminate drinking (poor character)... is that what you meant?
Heroin kid: I would talk to them. I would have a long, thoughtful discussion about why they want to try it (without getting outwardly angry). I would really want to know why they feel the need and what their expectations were of the drug. Then I would find someone that was a recovered junkie and invite them over to talk to them. That's my impulsive answer but you never know how you will handle such things until they are presented. Great questions though, both of them.
