[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 552609, member: 14557"] This is probably true. And I think it may depend a lot about person and how they ended up addicts. For example my granddad used a lot of amphetamine during the WW 2. He was physically addicted and enjoyed it. he also used heroin at the time (not injected though, I think it was eaten as tablets.) He also used both at times recreationally after the war. But maybe because not having addictive personality or physical vulnerability to substance addiction he didn't have too difficult time quitting. He also was your average social drinker rest of his life. He may have drunk a lot at times, but always had a control over it. So I can imagine there may be for example drug addicts out there, who can drink. Also my gambling addict son doesn't seem to have problem with alcohol. He does drink but very moderately and I have never seen any addictive behaviour with alcohol on him. Of course it helps that he has very low physical tolerance for alcohol. He can only drink few beers before feeling sick so he is not too tempted to drink more than one or two at a time. [/QUOTE]
