>addiction Choice. You can't be addicted to alcohol, it's a choice. An addiction is an abnormal dependence on something. Alcohol creates a chemical dependence in the body by choice of the drinker (to drink). That's not confusing. But you are right. I've never struggled with making poor choices about what I drink and cause chemical dependence on myself of. >I bet you also tell clinically depressed people to cheer up. Nope. Cool strawman. I tell them to go outside, get regular exercise (actual, vacuuming is not exercise, unless you're like 75+), eat healthy, and do productive things however meaningful or meaningless. Oh I also tell them to stop listening to their (((doctor))) (actually jewish or not is irrelevant) as he prescribes them (((mind killing drugs))).
