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

Actually, gambling disorder causes high suicide rates, i think individuals with GD are at a higher risk five times more probable to commit suicide than the normal people. Yes, high alcoholic drinking also causes high suicide risk, but often gambling addiction is condemned and people are afraid to show it. With a lot of addicts not telling their losses and how stressed they are and hiding it and acting normal it makes it so hard to see to find and help them. Anyways while this two addictions are very harmful, i will say gambling is special, because it can not be detected easily and the high probability that someone has to hold all the burden by himself.

You are absolutely right, when it comes to gambling and drinking of alcohol, both are super harmful when addiction get involved, but then, gambling is way worser than drinking, and this is because it doesn't cost much for an alcoholic to get high and possibly rest or take a break from drinking at that very moment.

But for a gambling addict, he may spend every penny he has on gambling and won't be satisfied, this can be very frustrating 😤, which is what usually leads to anxiety and depression, which in turn could lead to suicide.
This is possibly the reason why we have alot of people who commit suicide as a result of gambling and losing money they can not afford to lose.
Meanwhile we hardly hear about people who drank too much and commited suicide as a result.
