It's easier to be ignorant and claim you're a victim than admit you have a problem that you aren't strong enough to control. This is just like the guy I cited in the "only in religion" thread who is using religion as a cop-out for his lack of taking responsibility in his own life and to just stop smoking weed on his own.

You really have a poor understanding of basic medicine.
There is nothing in alcohol, alcohol is alcohol. Alcohol is physically addictive, so if alcohol isn't addictive, by your incredibly misguided standards, nothing is. So even if you discount all the mental aspects, it undeniably forms a tolerance and physical addiction and goes into physical withdrawal if the person stops drinking. So if you really are ready to throw out all the non physical aspects, that means there is no such thing as a coke addict, or a meth addict, which is a hard argument to make.
Even though, as I said, alcohol withdrawal can fucking kill you.
So really, do you think that anything is addictive, or that anything is a drug? Are these just made up words?
