    Objectively quantify, sure, but even a subjective qualitative measurement has meaning to us as humans despite it being of no scientific value. It's subjective too - plenty of people have an alcohol addiction problem and plenty of people are actually able to drink responsibly, which suggests not all addictions are equal, for all people. Some people can even do heroin and be fine and not get addicted.
