In reply to is Xanax more addictive than alcohol?, posted by 1980Monroe on December 30, 2003, at 21:36:26
I suspect xanax is more addictive then alcohol, in the sense that tolerance and dependence could develop quicker then with alcohol, and the withdrawal could be more dangerous to a long time user. However, if i was forced to choose between which drug to be actively addicted to, i would choose xanax, simply cuz it would do a lot less harm to the body. Alcohol is really hard on the system, its one of the most physiologically damaging drugs there is, if used heavily. Heroin is even less damaging then alcohol, in that respect (although since heroin is illegal, you can't be sure of its purity, it can have nasty contaminants)
