No...some people can drink socially and be fine. Some people cannot partake in alcohol without getting addicted. There are studies that indicate there is a genetic component. It's logical to extrapolate that the same holds true for drugs.

No, its liberal psychobabble. Let's just take individual responsibility out of the equation and blame everything on something else.

Nope, because I make a distinction between the addicted state (e.g. alcoholism) and the act of abusing alcohol. The former is out of an individual's control; the latter is not.

The only one babbling here is you.

There is medical proof of the genetics of addiction, you on the other hand, have nothing but your "opinions" to back up your ridiculous assertions.
