Yes, of course, it happens all the time. Many people drink alcohol in moderation and don't get addicted. However, if you are talking about a previous alcoholic drinking alcohol and not getting addicted, it is generally better to avoid alcohol altogether unless you have very strong will-power

Is addiction a physical dependence?

Addiction can be a physical dependence. Physical addiction is not the only form of addiction. There is also psychological addiction, which is also considered addiction.

One could be addicted to alcohol psychologically, meaning they have overwhelming desire to the point that it feels like a need to drink. Drinking too much alcohol on a regular basis can lead to a physical alcohol addiction, meaning the person has to drink alcohol for their body to function. The psychological addiction may even be gone at this point, and they not want to drink anymore, however the physical addiction is still there. Another example could be in marijuana. Marijuana can be very psychologically addictive, however it causes no physical addiction. Either way, an addiction is an addiction, be it physical, psychological, or both.

Alcohol detox is not a treatment for alcoholism. Alcohol detoxification is a process by which a heavy drinker's system is brought back to normal after being used to having alcohol in the body on a continual basis. Serious alcohol addiction results in a decrease in production of GABA, a reuptake inhibitor, because alcohol acts to replace it. Precipitous withdrawal from long-term alcohol addiction without medical management can cause severe health problems and can be fatal. After detoxification, other treatments must be undergone to deal with the underlying addiction that caused the alcohol use.
