> Drinking isn't inherently bad, but the author thinks so. I think the author just, somewhat, arbitrarily chose alcohol as the example for the all-or-nothing mindset for overcoming an addiction, and in that mindset "drinking is bad" is the thought in the addicts head using that approach, not the authors decree. Alcohol could be substituted for "internet" in the regulation example, in which you'd get moderate alcohol consumption. Though the tools available to pull that off with alcohol addiction might not be enough for some.
