I would have to say that there is not much difference between winston and people that use drugs. For start in the time period that Winston is living any type of free thinking is looked down apon, its also punishable. This is just like doing drugs, people do it but its looked down on by many people, and like in Winstons case it could lead to possible punishment. Also Winston seems to get a rush or a good feeling from doing what he want. Once again this is like using drugs.
