    That’s the point, though. Even if you have one beer a week, defending that if challenged to quit will make you sound like an alcoholic.

      But that doesn’t make sense, one beer a week is absolutely not triggering chemical addiction. At that rate you could attack any ritual behavior, or regular consumption of anything beyond nutrient paste and water

      To me the important distinction is between chemical and behavioral addiction, habits and compulsions.

        No one said anything about triggering an addiction, or being addicted at all.

        It’s the act of defending your alcohol consumption that can make you sound like an alcoholic.
