Well basically you're saying everyone who drinks becomes addicted to it and becomes a drunk That's pretty funny and insulting to everyone who drinks

actually OD, alcohol contains chemicals that null the neurtransmitters in your brain (which is why when your really really drunk u cant feel pain ), alcohol is classified by the health sectors in the UK as a class A drug the only difference between it and other drugs are is that you can consume a safe amount before you become affected by it, but it has been shown from scientific studies that if you continuiously drink over a long period and try to stop drinking your brain starts to crave the chemicals that the alcohol produces therefore creating an addiction, and if you see a real alcoholic trying to stay off the drink, they get the cold turkey effects the same as a drug user. some people dont find cigerettes addictive, they can stop whenever they want, some people can take illegal drugs like extasy and be able to stop taking them without side effects (even though its dangerous), some people can walk off the internet at any time, some people can stop eating junk food whenever they want and not get the craving for burgers... if we go by your definition of addiction, then nothing is classified as addictive, remember OD when you single out people saying that its only addictive to certain people (either a minority or a majority), then rather then becomming a common fact that the item in question is addictive, it becomes not an addiction but a mental illness, an addiction is classed as a substance that anyone who takes it (majority of people affected) that causes these effects, if we assume that a substance is not addictive on the basis only a few people get affected then it becomes less of an addiction and becomes a mental illness because that person is unable to cope with being able to consume it like the average person.
