That's what am trying to explain since some people thinks that alcohol doesn't have much addictive effect like gambling, maybe they don't know how some people have become addicted to alcohol that they get drunk every day and night. A drunk can not even think properly or manage anything like a business or job. I remember the first night I got so drunk, I broke the screen of my phone that night and also hide the phone under my mattress, when I woke up the next day was around 12pm with a severe head ache, first I started looking for my phone without remembering what happened the previous night. When I finally found the phone, it was damaged in a way I had no memory about. So, being addicted to alcohol can really be bad.
If am to choose between gambling and alcohol addiction, i will choose gambling addiction. Both are evil but gambling is lesser evil compare to drinking addiction. Alcohol do not only destroy your finance, it also destroy your health, cause you more pain. The funny part of alcohol addiction is that even if you do not have money, there are people willing to buy for you. But in gambling no one will give you money to go and play gamble, you play with your money and when you are broke you stop. no one will give you free bet.
i stop taking alcohol at my 30th year birthday. when i was taking alcohol i drink responsibly, i only got drunk once. I always stop at my level, if am drinking beer i wont exceed three bottles. I apply same method to my gambling , once the spare cash finishes am done gambling. Nothing will make me borrow money or touch my saving. One must be guided, drink and play gamble with your head.
Well, I can not choose any other such problems because non of it is better for me, I have never had a symptom of alcohol addiction and have not been drunk too many times but I saw how it contributed in destroying the lives of people, same as gambling addiction did too but despite I had some signs of gambling addiction, I didn't allow it to overwhelm me because I know the effect of it. Anything that has to do with addiction is not usually healthy for humans because it definitely leads to issues upon issues. The best decision you can ever make is to remain disciplined and responsible.
