yes.
Do you like using public transport? 
not that I remember, but probably. I'm convinced that everyone has it in them to get big by trying to make someone else small. I'm not proud of it, though, and I don't want to do it again.
In other words: people binge because they can, because it feels good, and because they are replacing the process of dealing with bad feelings with the anesthesia of overindulgence.
not particularly. I don't like someone else being in complete control of my fate.
Do you often call your parents?
I don't recall the last time - but I see them at least once a week for dinner and occasionally for breakfast on the weekends
Did you ever bully anyone in school?
If you had kids, what would you do differently from what your parents did?
push
Did you ever have a recurring dream? 
I have several, both good and bad. It seems like maybe I recall my dreams more than most people, though.
If you ever wrote a book, what genre would it be?
autobiography, probably a series of essays
Which one of the popular conspiracy theories do you think makes the most sense?
COVID-related supplies seem to have been delayed in release and/or availability to the general public
Is there good and evil?
yes. (Trust me—I've several books on the subject.)
Why do people binge on stuff?
human society is—and increasingly—about endorphins and other happy hormones, emotional support animals, and complicated coffee drink orders. It's not even "immediate gratification", but anticipatory gratification, obsessive indulgence, and abhorrence for waiting. There's also the ubiquity of supply, at least in certain things: home-delivered food, nonstop streaming options, and ever-renewing entertainment.
What would the world be like without alcohol?
quieter, a little safer, and sorely lacking in Southern literature
Are some people inherently bad?
not "inherently" bad—but irredeemable, sure
[from here; the title quotation is by Charles Bukowski, from South of No North]
