Hello,

the "legal drugs" (i know you can't really name them drugs), are nicotine, caffeine, alcohol and sugar.

They have great effects on the brain, I just read this article about sugar.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2235907/

and this one, even more interesting.

http://www.livescience.com/40749-addiction-drugs-sugar.html

which says that sugar is one key factor why some people are addicted to eating.

What do you think? Are caffeeine, sugar and nicotines really (smooth) drugs ?

Drugs are any substance/checimal that alters your body. Sugar is not a drug. It falls under the same category as food, having a trivial effect that would otherwise count for making it a drug. 7:^]

You literally learn this in Psychology 1000, the easiest course of all time.

Just cuz you're addicted to something doesn't mean it's a drug. It can just be a mental addiction to which you can have to absolutely anything, i.e. runescape.

The rest of the things you listed are definitely a drug.

you said which alters your body, when a drug is something that alters your psyche

I think you should double check what the definition says. Physiological is not the same thing as psychological.
