Genetic basis: Congratulations! anyone can become addicted but alcohol & drug addiction has a strong genetic/physiological basis. Addicts are often addicted to sugar, caffeine & tobacco & should avoid them. They have higher needs for certain nutrients, esp. B vits. See http://www.The-alcoholism-guide.Org/orthomolecular-alcoholism-treatment.Htm while about alcoholism, this info is relevant to all addictions.
