If aperson can drink moderately then they are not a true alcoholic. For Alcoholics , the drug alcohol IS n addictive drug like heroin. Never heard of a successful "social heroin user".

Never heard of a successful "social heroin user".

Actually there are many. The "one hit and you're an addict" is 1980s-era "War on Drugs" propaganda.

For sure, there are many addicts, but there are many who shoot up on occasion or smoke a rock now and then and still lead functioning, productive lives. We just don't hear about them until they get busted (or overdose).

<> Believe it or not, there are PLENTY of them. So long as one has a secure and clean supply, one can function very normally. People forget that before the enactment of anti-narcotic laws, a significant minority of the population was regularly using laudanum (a strong tincture of opium) and largely carrying on normal lives.
