Drinking is not as bad as cigarrette?
They're both bad, awful bad.
Both cause adictions, different types though.
Alcohol= physical adiction, meaning it'll be harder to quit and if you try you'll get sick (abstinence syndrome). While,
Cigarrette= psychological adiction, meaning it'll be just as hard to quit but you won't get sick if you do.
Also, alcohol can kill you in 1 night, while cigarrette takes more time. Actually both are long term killers.
Alcoholism is disease that kills tons of people a year. If you drink moderately and you don't mix stuff, "good" for you.
For those who don't do the first: brain cells dying, passing out is not good (although, it forces you to stop drinking), if you drink a lot and you mix it with cocaine or any similar drugs you might die of alcohol overdose.
Alcohol is just socialy accepted but that doesn't make it "better" than cigarrette and some drugs.
If you consider it some psychotropics that are legal/ilegal and socially accepted/not-accepted sometimes aren't even legal/ilegal for rightful reasons.
Alloy, your point?
Let me guess: all addictions aren't bad?
Sadly, yes they're.
If it's "true" addiction, to the point one would stop studying and/or working to play videogames, isn't it bad? Shouldn't it be consider a disease (at least to some extent)?
The thing with addictions is:
There's a "feel the effect" limit and a dangerous limit. You're allowed to drink (do anything) between those limits. If you're addicted you'll need a bigger/longer dose to feel the effect, therefore making your healthy "spot" smaller. If the addiction is bad you'll reach the dangerous limit and die. It works that way with alcohol.
Someone that lives in the US could please tell me how many people die a year because of alcohol?
