So most countries legalised alcohol but not all countries allowed drinking of alcohol, so I quote you wrong that some countries restrict drinking of alcohol, but it's limited and that's why many people doesn't know that in some countries it's only the foreigners that's allowed to drink alcohol
Btw, example with alcohol legalization, restriction and ban are great examples that all those methods dont work as a solution for addiction. There are countries where alcohol is forbidden, yet people still find where to buy it. Selling alcohol after 8 or 10 in the evening is forbidden, yet people still manage to buy it or drink from supplies.
Anyway, even though alcohol drinkers are more than gamblers, I find gambling more dangerous because its harder to spot addicted gambler and more harder to convince him to treatment. I also think that treatment from gambling is a much longer process.
You know why you are saying that you prefer alcohol and gambling is more dangerous than alcohol, despite that we are all talking the same thing, they are a risks in gambling and gambling can make away with what we have suffered for long time to get, but gambling can make us to it all, I know very well that gambling is all about risk and it will cripple someone who have not understand the ways further of gambling, because if we understand the way forward we are supposed to know that alcohol is less were gambling is, taking alcohol can't make you to lose your properties but gambling will take every thing you have.
