no.

one may recreationally imbibe alcohol and become neither physically nor psychologically addicted to it.
one may take the occasional painkiller and become neither physically nor psychologically addicted to it.
one may indulge in premarital nookie now and then and become neither physically nor psychologically addicted to it.
one may skydive and become neither physically nor psychologically addicted to it.
one may view nude photography and become neither physically nor psychologically addicted to it.

complete abtsention for most people is not a prerequisite for avoiding addiction to most things, vices, substances, activities.

do you get the point? liking a thing does not equate to addiction to that thing, irrespective of how many all-or-nothing rationalisms you put forth.

I see your point and you and I agree on that. It takes more than one drink to be an alcoholic, but it was the first that started it all.
