I have a friend who isn't addicted to cigarettes and only smokes with buddies but never alone or with me. And me who isn't addicted to alcohol but only drinks if really good friends want to go out and get a bit (been years now but used to be months)
yea exactly then that's not an addiction, but if one does it compulsively then it is
I would say that's not addiction at all, that's just partaking in things that aren't good for you in a social setting. Addiction is when it takes over your life isn't it?
Genuine question, it's hard to convey curiosity over sarcasm on the internet.
I'm using a few real examples but we are a tiny minority compared to most of our other friends who can't stop one or the other
