I am all for legalizing drugs, but that chart is bullshit. There is no way you can tell me the "addiction potential", or the Withdrawal of Alcohol is the same or more then Cocaine and Nicotine.

I drink a lot (3-4 times a week), but there will be time I might not drink for a month. I am never compelled to take a drink, or feel any withdrawal for nothing doing it.

I know many people like that, in fact, I know of none who are not like that. I have never heard of 1 person who quit smoking, or doing cocaine and said it was as simple as just not doing it.

You are very very wrong. Alcohol is one of the few substances that people develop a physical addiction to if they abuse it. Nicotine, Heroin & Benzos are the other main ones. Most substances people just get a psychological addiction to the high they get from it, but some, after abusing them, their body develops a dependence on it.

It's all about abuse and addiction. Most users of cocaine will just have a few lines on a weekend, or on special occasions. It pretty rare for people to snort their car away as its only an addiction to the high not a physical dependence. Nicotine is very hard to quit, the fact people get nausea and the shakes when quitting cold turkey is part of the physical dependency on the substance. An alcoholic withdrawing from using is not pretty.

Your reason for doubting it is ridiculous.
