    if I really wanted the things on the first list I would study more and play less.

Perhaps you do want the things on the first list because you've been told that they will give you the things on the second list, only more sustainably. What do you get from video games and beer drinking: feelings of success and smartness and altered states, and you can get it cheaply and quickly. For a while.
