Unfortunately a lot of people aren't very good at moderation lol That's why there's 300 lb people eating at McDonald's every day. Or using every free moment to play MMOs. Or contantly having sex/looking at porn. People abuse a lot of things besides drugs, but none of them have as much stigma attached.

Sorry if I'm derailing the thread a bit. I'm not trying to advocate the use of drugs or anything. Just stating some facts.

 The links are interesting reads, thanks. There is a difference between obsessive compulsive behavior and chemical addiction. Some of the reward mechanisms are the same. There are some reward mechanisms that are only activated through the use of chemicals and some of the reward mechanisms have a genetic basis in how strongly they work (or don't work).
