"I don't think you can make a simplistic comparisson like that. "

Insofar as making a generalisation about the cause for addiction, you are right Cleira.

I was just trying to counter the 'they chose it, nobody forced the drink down thier neck' line of thought with something that illustates that many conditions we have sympathy with can be regarded in the same way.

The reasons for addiction are indeed many and various. That said, so are the reasons for walking through dodgy bits of town or having sex.

"to attempt to untangle anything more than an individual's case would be pointless."

hmm, not so sure about it being pointless. There certianly are correlations between certain types of life factors and addiction, and so we can see that a propensity for addiction can be found in certain types of people more than others. The common experience between many addicts is what makes self-help groups so successful.
