Not sure if I share the cold beer view. I have plenty of friends I used to go out with, sit in the pub, play soccer with etc ... they all got married and have a kid/house/garden. Most of the days, they come home from work and plant themselves in the couch watching TV, till it's time to go to bed. I don't know if watching TV for 5-6 hours each day is better than WoW. Am I addicted to wow? Maybe, but probably to the same extend how most are addicted to their TV, the difference I think is that wow triggers my brain (heroic progress raiding is like solving a puzzle and pvp is like chess to me).

If wow is the substitute for TV I think there is little harm in spending many hours.
