alcohol addiction can take years even decades to develop, that's correct
with gambling the dopamine hit is much faster so it can make people addicted easily, it's a harder drug
but mainly because it's fully psychological too, there's no biological substance directly involved with gambling as with drugs you consume.
I think that being addicted to alcohol or tobacco or other substances is noticeable since abusing them is not good for your health, smoking is ok, i smoke, but in moderation
same with drinking, if you drink a little you don't get stuck and you can enjoy this beautiful thing.
Gambling is infamous, you can't tell if you're addicted.
Well both addiction are bad, but talking about drugs, iy has the potential to destroy I our organs even without us realizing on time, and the worst thing that an happen to anyone is spending money to destroy their organs by taking drugs and after being diagnosed by a doctor of a serious disease or health condition, they still end up spending even more trying to sustain themselves from not dying early. It doesn't make sense at all yet, we sometimes deceive ourselves by saying it's just once in a while, but the damage that little while could cause may be more than we expect.
