Unfortunately, ALCOHOL IS THE MOST DANGEROUS DRUG in the world. ALCOHOL HAS KILLED MORE PEOPLE directly and indirectly than ALL OTHER DRUGS combined. ALCOHOL is more responsible for violent crime than METH AND CRACK combined.
Shouldn't we prohibit the use of DEMON ALCOHOL????

Before someone becomes addicted there are choices. As in, most of us are warned NOT to mess with hard drugs. The addict always makes the WRONG choice to start in the first place. Once a person is truly addicted, the power of choice is either extremely diminished or entirely absent. I am one of the latter. I COULD NOT STOP no matter what the consequence. Whether it's a "disease" or not does not matter. The cause is not necessary for a solution. If an addict knew why they did what they did, it would NOT help to stop them. The thing is, some people mess around, some get hard into it, and some are seemingly hopelessly addicted. Some of us have something wrong with us...personally I KNOW that there is something wrong with me, it hasn't mattered in my recovery to have a definite cause for it.
