> LinkadgeI know, I was just trying to make a point about addiction. What is the actual definition of addiction?
Example: I have a lot of friends who enjoy a few beers every once in awhile...maybe 3 or 4 beers at a BBQ, and they admit they enjoy the feeling, they like how it relaxes them...but they don't like to get Drunk. They might do this once a month...they are not addicts, I'm sure if they started to abuse it, (alcohol is highly addictive) they could become addicted to it. But, just enjoying a 3-4 beer buzz once a month doesn't make them addicts. Do you understand what i'm saying? Abuse, cravings, inability to control how much you take/drink, etc. this is addiction.
