Wouldn't it encourage all of those? Something to fill the void. I eat when i get bored. If i cant eat i smoke. If i have an empty stomach, i need less alcohol to get my buzz. Seems life fasting is a bad idea.

More often, one addiction is replaced by another. (Like wasting time on the internet.)

I would certainly think that those who could acquire enough self-control to do without food (which is a need) could more easily do without alcohol, tobacco, etc (which are wants).

I'm not sure how effective islamic fasting is, it's not the proper biblical thing, although going without water during the day is certainly pretty severe. The proper fast would be more like going without food for 3 days and nights, or at least a whole day and night; sometimes people fast much longer. But Mohammed was designing for the masses, and you wouldn't be able to get the masses doing that. It'll generally make you able to exercise self-control over the body.

Fasting means not disturbing smell of mouth. Most of the addictions are just to keep mouth smell as it is ; may be good smell or bad smell. Hence fasting may prevent addictions. Also those who are addicted may not be successful in fasting.
