Step One: Brewing. Step Two: Distilling. Step Three: Drinking. Step Four: World Domination. Step Four is always World Domination. Need proof? Fine. Step One: Play poker. Step Two: Learn to read people. Step Three: Make money. Step Four: World Domination. It's medical fact and there's no way to get around it.
It is my opinion that one of the only freedoms allotted to individuals in life (not by a government, but by Life itself) is the freedom to choose your own addiction. While I'm personally a fan of the more traditional smoking, drinking, and caffeine (with occasional binges of sex and gambling), I look around and see people feeding countless other addictions, and not in the obvious sense of air, water, and food (though the particular type of food or general quantity could certainly constitute a separate addiction unto itself).
Depending on who you associate with and where you hang out, you see a myriad of drug addictions being fed (even if you're not cognizant of it, you probably see these people anyway and just don't recognize what is present). Reading can be an addiction, though it's rare to come in contact with people thus willfully isolated. Video games, even, can be an addiction in this sense; pouring all of your time and efforts into their pursuit.
Obviously, this is a broader definition of addiction than used in psychology, but fuck those assholes and their pretentious bullshit; "it's not this way because we defined it a different way" is grounded in a purposefully limited school of thought rather than expanding it to the scope of reality.
Just my two cents, anyway.

The first (and quite possibly the last) bonfire of the season is tonight. Bring your kids.
