Question by BK: Can you tell me a song about drugs and/or alcohol?
Hi, I need a song that has to do with drug and/or alcohol abuse. I found the song “Rehab” by Amy Winehouse, but I don’t think it has that much to do with alcohol and drug abuse itself. Sure, it does, but I need a song that has a lot to do with alcohol and/or drug abuse. Can anyone tell me a song about drugs and/or alcohol abuse please? It can be any type a song. It just can’t have curse words in it. Thanks so much!

Question by denveryay: How is it possible to absolutely categorize Alcoholim as a disease and not an illness?
“Disease” is a very loosely defined term in many respects. There are multiple disorders, infenctions, and symptoms that can be typical of a definable disease. Also, a disease must have specific and constant cause(s), which in the case of Alcoholism is the CHOICE to drink ethyl-alcohol. The cause of the “disease” is the recurring and disregarding CHOICE to drink. A choice, however pathological or illogical, doesn’t seem to be appropriate as a cause or a condition of any disease. Despite the negative psychological, physiological, and other results of long-term alcohol abuse, it seems that it shouldn’t be classified as anything more than a treatable mental disorder.

The answer to the question in the title of this article is: “Yes, but with the need to understand the limits of online help.”

Definitions

The words “alcohol dependence” or “addiction” are often used without definition. So, let’s first define some terms. As used in this article, alcohol or drug addiction means that a person’s alcohol or other drug use has reached the point that the person cannot use without loss of control over use of the substance and/or cannot use without producing adverse consequences in significant life areas. The addicted person has developed a psychological and/or physical dependence upon the substance. An addicted person will continue to use the substance in the face of adverse consequences.

Question by Mr.Tall: Why is it okay to look down on me and be rude because I’m a smoker?
If I were a drug addict or alcoholic I could go to rehab where doctors and staff would help me 24/7 to face my “issues” and rid me of my habit. If I were 100lbs over weight I could go Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers or any other of the countless groups out there to get support in losing my “food addiction” along with the weight. But because I smoke cigarettes complete strangers feel it is okay to tell me how bad cigarettes are for me, that it’s a filthy habit and give me dirty looks.
What gives? I’m not breaking the law, I’m not stealing from other people to feed my habit, and since you can no longer smoke indoors anywhere, I am pretty much harming only myself.
If it’s not acceptable to tell an overweight person to put down that big mac then why is it okay to slam smokers?
Who said I smoke around other people? Outside is not good enough for you? Do you seriously believe the smoke from my cigarette will hurt you more than the 5,000 trucks and cars running down any given street on any given day will? And yes, drug addicts do hurt quite a few other people, but that wasn’t my point. You made my point. Because you don’t like it you feel you are right in being rude.
