That's what the medical community thinks. Addiction and/or disease. See Danzigs Wiki source.

There is a point when people are alcoholics that even if they know they should stop they cant. Even if they can make up their mind to do it their body cannot physically do it because it could kill them. Its worse than heroin as far as its toll on the body. I do believe some people are more disposed to addiction than others just like some people's bodies are more prone to illness.

That is interesting considering that you insulted another poster just the other day as "an alcoholic loser."
