You’re right, i mis-typed, I meant addictive instead of addiction in that first sentence.
Addiction is dependency, but addictive is used commonly to describe habit forming. That may not be medically accurate, but its how the word is commonly used. With that context, the statement “Alcohol is not directively addictive” is a reasonable statement.
But you are correct, once you are addicted to alcohol, it is very dangerous.
Nope. Still not a reasonable statement. Alcohol is habit forming and addictive. I dunno why you keep trying to play semantics with nonsense arguments honestly.
Because billions of people drink alcohol without forming a habit.
To argue that alcohol is habit forming to the same degree as nicotine or heroine is just as wrong.

I guess we will just have to disagree.

Did I say it was habit forming to the same degree? You claimed it wasn’t habit forming at all. You’re wrong.
