Think of any bans and constraints as a loaded spring. Unless they have something that they enjoy / rewarded for / need to do with their time, you'll just frustrate them. They'll do the alcohol, drugs, TV, internet all behind your back. Or maybe they'll binge on it after they leave your house.
Instead, maybe introduce them to alternatives that are worth being addicted to. And, lead by example. Try to find something that you and they would enjoy doing together.
