- mrtranscendence 5y agoSugar may not be a drug, but for some reason I had no trouble stopping smoking and have been unable in 40 years of life to quit overindulging in sugar despite many efforts to do so.
- bodge5000 5y ago> Sugar is not a drug Define drug. One definition I found is "Drugs are substances that change a person's mental or physical state", which would included Sugar. > It does not create addiction It absolutely does. Not physically (or at least no more than any other substance, if you consume a massive amount of anything your body will become accustomed to it and you'll feel withdrawal symptoms), but nor is alcohol or a load of other "addictive" drugs
- wanderer_ 5y agoIt may not be a 'drug' in the traditional sense, but you can still become very addicted, and it can still harm you. Sugar addiction may even be more dangerous to society because of how common it is.
