>How the fuck are those different?
If you give 100 people heroin every day for a month, or a pack of cigarettes every day for a month, you get 100 addicted people.
Give 100 people McDonald's every day for a month, only a handful of weak-willed people would have trouble leaving it behind.

>your distinction between nicotin addiction and alcohol addiction is the most arbitrary bullshit I've seen here.
It's the same as above.
Most people can't become addicted to alcohol, doughnuts or even sex.
Those who claim to be addicted to these things are just self-indulgent.

>10 calories is something that could be expended on climbing a flight of stairs.
That's my point.
Even a small (but consistent) variation from your equilibrium diet can cause big changes in your weight.
It's easy to slip up and gain weight, but it's just as easy to lose weight.
It's just more unpleasant, not more difficult.
More importantly, nobody can claim their metabolism is causing or preventing weight gain or loss.
