I rarely drink now, though used to. I think you need to not drink to see alcohol clearly, and to be able to see addiction. Most drinking I see is addiction, dressed up as social drinking. It's a pretty simple test - say you like green cordial. Do you have 5, 6 or more cordials in one sitting? No. Are people thirsty enough to need 5, 6 or more drinks? Also no. It's as simple as that, it's seductive and quickly becomes addiction.
