[b]Half of those people having nightly wine are addicted also.[/b] A drug is a drug and it does nothing good to your brain.[/quote]

Citation please.[/quote]

It is how the brain works. If you drink wine every night for two years and then stop all at once you will go through withdrawal. Why because you have changed your brain chemistry. So you were addicted to a drug. Same as if you were smoking cigarettes every day. Also if you drink wine every night to get a buzz and you have kids then you are parenting your child constantly when you are buzzed. You may not reach the level of addiction where people drink 2 bottles of vodka a night and can't get up to go to work and end up losing their jobs. But all drugs and alcohol give a temporary high that changes the brain. Alcohol and drug use and abuse is more on a spectrum of how much damage it is causing your brain and life. If you are drinking nightly you are on that spectrum and causing more damage than you can admit.[/quote]

That's not a citation. It's an explanation of your personal beliefs about addiction.[/quote]

New poster here, and although the above is not a citation, it's also the truth.  Most people don't have addictions that they don't even know about.  Moreover, previous poster is right that addiction isn't binary. It's a spectrum.  If you can't got a day without 1 or 2 glasses of wine, you're probably addicted.

Try quitting anything that you consume in large quantities, whether it be coffee, alcohol, or even sugar.  You'll get headaches and all sorts of phantom pain.  People who get sick after severely cutting down on sugar thinks it speaks to the unhealthiness of the "fad diet" they are trying, but in fact it's their body suffering from sugar withdrawal.

Its your prerogative to be ignorant, but the fact that people on this thread aren't treating this like a grad thesis doesn't mean that they are wrong.[/quote]
