<i>&gt;&gt;I could never be an alcoholic, alcohol does nothing for me except dulling the senses.</i><p>I think one of the common<i>(if not primary)</i> ways people become alcholics is when their senses keep delivering overwhelmingly negative signals and they want it to just stop.<p>When you feel that your life is awful in every way imaginable and you just don&#x27;t want to feel anything anymore...
