[1] I'm not sure if this means all food and drinks (presumably being replaced by food pills or some other SFnal means) or just nice examples of such, though I'm not sure it makes much difference - the question is basically about what higher needs you'd be willing to surrender in order to extend lifespan.

Those are no-brainers, or close to it. I've never liked travel much anyway; I don't get enough sex to make giving it up a serious sacrifice; giving up food and drink would have the plus side of meaning I didn't have to faff about with cooking or worry about finding gluten-free nourishment when visiting friends etc.

Things I wouldn't give up are things like books or playing games or programming: if I started giving up things like that then living to 100 would be deathly boring.
