It's clear that you don't understand addiction at all. There is ample
information available on the web that you should be able to enlighten
yourself about addiction without too much difficulty.

There's also plenty of information on the Web indicating why it's
stupid to take drugs and operate vehicles at the same time.


Wow, where would you be without the web?

Oh I know. Ranting to people on the street

Information on the web is unreliable.

There is also a reason why no DUI laws begin at 0.001%.

There are many countries in the world where it's 0.0%

Of course, I was referring to the US, as I have no idea of DUI laws
elsewhere. Aside from countries where consumption of alcohol may be
illegal, which countries have a zero tolerance for drinking and driving?

If drinking and driving isn't addiction, what is?

Living in a dumpster because you spent your rent money on drugs, and you're
too high to coordinate a robbery for your next fix.

Risking your life just to take a recreational drug sounds like quite an
obsession to me.

We were discussing addictions, not obsessions.

Short Term memory issues too?

I know people who spend several hundred dollars a month on cigarettes and/or
alcohol. Are they addicted? I know people who can't go an hour without a
cigarette or a day without alcohol. Are they addicted?

Which is it, cigarettes or alcohol?

One could easily spend several hundered dollars on one bottle of wine per
month. I don't wouldn't consider that addicted.

A pack-a-day smoker spends more then 'several hunderd dollars' a month on
cigarettes.

I know people who can't go an hour without a cigarette

You should stay far away from these people. They're likely to burn down
their home smoking while they're sleeping

You're a million miles away from your original assertation.

lead a normal life without regularly taking the drug.

What causes mental pain?

An obsession is not addiction. Anyhow, there's little obsession
involved. The majority of people who drive their car after having had a
small glass of beer think nothing of it, especially not that they're
risking their lives. The fact that you might think differently is
irrelevant to them.

The fact that some of them die in consequence doesn't seem to be relevant to
you, either.
