ate too much
drove too fast
smoked
didn't get vaccinated
didn't exercise
played a risky sport
worked a risky job
didn't take their meds
took too much of their meds, or
yes,
drank beer.

I signed this letter to Nature along with 93 other respected experts in the drug field
When Nature Journal claimed addiction was a disease
94 experts disagreed!
"we disagree with your one-dimensional view that addiction is a disease, & with your claim that this view is not particularly controversial among scientists"
