Let's flip it backwards!

I believe the traditional answer is lust, but I could be wrong.

I'm a fan of all seven. But right now, I'm gonna have to go with wrath.

Gluttony, you can always stop eating, just like taking drugs or smoking.

Lust. See: Alighieri, Dante.

I'll say sloth, but I'm obviously biased. Tongue

I'll be honest: lust.

Sloth is probably the least accepted in society.

Lust is the traditional answer and is the one I'll give, but least bad is still pretty bad.

Any of them takes us out of a state of grace with God, so I don't believe any of them is least bad.

As a proponent of virtue ethics you'd do well to consider that the mindsets involved in sloth were actually seen as very severe by a lot of the medieval scholars, even though the actions (or inactions) that sloth leads to are relatively benign. It's sometimes referred to as "the middle sin" for this among other reasons.

Gluttony is, but here is the thing...if you constantly commit one sin like that you're bound to commit the other deadly sins
