When people criticize hedonism they are mostly talking about unconscious hedonistic behavior. Unconscious hedonistic behavior often lead to unhappiness in the long term because of a focus on pleasure gratification over self-betterment. Now if your talking about philosophical hedonism, it's as legitimate lifestyle as any but a lot of people disagrees with the philosophical principals as well.

If you're worried about the degenerative effects a hedonistic lifestyle may cause, just rationalize it thusly: suppressing overt hedonism in the moment in favor of ascetic action, such as studying and abstaining from alcohol and junk food, makes sure you can keep up a hedonistic lifestyle in the future. The answer here, like in most of all lifestyle issues, is moderation.

Hedonism can be turned into a problem of 3+n aesthetics.

There are crack hedonics and then there are higher hedonics.

Stoicism acknowledges that life in a universe without Providence is not worth living. Epicureanism is the alternative, but that essentially is a form of hedonism
