I suppose alcohol can lead to drug addictions sometimes

It's all the goddamn same addiction IMO. It's an addiction to happy chemicals in your brain.

I abused alcohol for years but I couldn't give two shits about alcohol really, it was all about the effects.

Abusing a particular type of drug can lead to physical dependence but that's pretty much a side-effect, the addiction is to the happy chemicals.

Alcohol is a fucking drug. In fact it's one of the most dangerous drugs. One of only a handful that when you stop using, the withdrawals are actually fatal.
