I'm not sure it is pleasure driving people to go overboard. I'm pretty sure it is dissatisfaction that is driving excess. In which case a drug that means you're more easily satisfied is far from bleak.

If anything the opposite is far more bleak. Imagine if there was a drug that meant you're less easily satisfied, who on earth would want that?

That sounds like stimulants. You wouldn't be motivated to do things if you were satisfied, so any drugs that motivate people would seem to need to have to have such an effect.
