No, you don't. Speaking from personal experience, I have had problems with alcohol and drugs without being sure if I was addicted or not. I found it very helpful to seek professional counselling. If you speak to your doctor they can refer you.

If you are concerned about your drug or alcohol use, I would strongly recommend that you speak to someone. You don't have to be addicted to seek help. It may seem difficult to talk about, but it can be much easier to speak to a professional you don't know for impartial advice.

Are there any similar drugs to alcohol?

Depends on the drug. If it is opiates then it does what it says it will do and increase the effect. But if it is Ambien then you need to be careful or you might keep sleeping if it is your first try then small doses till your body can meet you. I'm a over 10 year drug addict (recovering) so please be careful. That depends on the drug. Many drugs have serious negative consequences when combined with alcohol intake. Sometimes the effect is just decreasing the effectiveness of the drug, but it can be more serious. As the previous answerer already noted, combining opiates with alcohol can increase the effect of the drug - with negative effects up to and including death. As with all drugs, if you are one who indulges in an alcoholic drink now and then, you need to talk with your doctor and/or pharmacist about potential interactions of any drugs with the alcohol.

What drugs does Jenny in Forrest Gump become addicted to?

She seems to have been into drugs for awhile -- most notably cocaine -- but I don't think she was ever actually an addict. She seems to give the drugs up fairly easily, which is something no addict could ever even hope to do. If you're a drug addict, giving up drugs is the hardest thing in the world, but it wasn't for her. The drugs seem to be part and parcel to the abusive relationship she is in. When she decides to leave him, she leaves the drugs behind as well. She leaves him asleep in bed, and then she smears the cocaine all over the mirror, as if trying to destroy it. And then she leaves. No addict would ever discard a big pile of cocaine like that. She would've taken it with her. She might've THOUGHT about leaving the drugs behind, or flushing them down the toilet, but if she were really an addict, she would've ended up keeping them. When you're an addict, you just want to have drugs around, because knowing that you have them makes you feel safe and secure. Being addicted to a drug means that on a deep, instinctive level, you really feel that you NEED them to survive emotionally. You can't live inside your head without drugs. So, you just want to KNOW that you have a big pile of cocaine or heroin or whatever stashed away, that it will be there when you need it. You might be disgusted with yourself, you might wish you could throw them away, but you won't be able to do it. A true addict would never, ever deliberately throw drugs away, unless the cops were breaking down the door.

How are drugs or alcohol and violence related?

Well this is probably true since drugs make most people unfit to work and hold a job. Thus these desperate drug addicts will turn to violence to get the money they need to purchase their daily dose. That's why crime and drugs go together. It actually really depends on which drug you are using. Marijuana is known to chill people down and make them rather peaceful or unmotivated. Drugs with a higher addiction potential can easily be associated with violence though. == ==
