> I doubt even 0.01% of the people in this this thread are talking about spiking. That is a strawman. At least two different people referenced spiking explicitly in their comments. There are 136 comments in this thread at the time of writing this one. That is a lot more than 0.01% of commenters. Regardless, your original comment was "An inebriated person on the street has decided to accept that people will see them in a compromising situation." If you want the discussion to only concern addicts then it is better to say it explicitly than assume it's obvious. > Your dictionary definition does not convince me that there is no decision been made, it is semantics. Well the meaning of words matters. Addiction is defined or described as a compulsion. If you prefer, the WHO defines it as "the user (referred to as an addict) is periodically or chronically intoxicated, shows a compulsion to take the preferred substance (or substances), has great difficulty in voluntarily ceasing or modifying substance use, and exhibits determination to obtain psychoactive substances by almost any means." We can play semantics all day, but ultimately the words "great difficulty in voluntarily..." are pretty clear...
