I can revisit tomorrow if you ping me.
For something to begin to chew on, consider that alcoholism can be defined as needing to drink to achieve normalcy. A true alcoholic is more aware and effective with a certain amount of BAC. For example, an alcoholic crane operator would be somewhat prone to error without any alcohol in their system, achieving competency at a certain BAC, with resumption of degradation of abilities beyond that.
This is physical dependency and other substances do similar things.
This is physical dependency
Well THIS part of I understand, But does it START out that way? I thought it was something that the body became akin to like heroin or something that once enough of it has corrupted your system your body actually physically needs it.
Functional alcoholic here. And for the record I'm drunk as we speak. I can drink to passing out every night but get up and go to work the next day like it's NBD. Not that I'm not affected, but it's mostly my personality. In terms of performance I'm about the same whether I drank the night before or didn't. And i can quit for for weeks at a time but never suffer from withdrawal. Alcohol is one of the few drugs that can actually kill you when you stop, but for me it's a walk in the park. My grandfather was a drunk until he died at 80 and my father had all the markings of one but was also driven in other ways and always managed to keep it in check. Point being that genetics appears to have a strong role here, at least for me.
Do I need it? Absolutely not. But I really really like it and that's about the gist of it. Sorry that I can't provide more insight, but if you don't have the bug then you probably can't understand.

You're right I cant understand but that's what I'm trying to do here since I have them in my family. Can we go back to the line..But I really really like it ? What is it you like exactly? Being wrecked, getting there the taste? I'm not trying to be a prick and keep prodding. I'm trying to learn something here
