Want this question answered?
People in some cases can become gambling addicts from poker if they don't control their usage and it gets out of control. If you're responsible and set your self limits its hard for you to become a gambling addict to online poker.
If you are an addict (you suffer physical and emotional effects of use) - you are an addict for life. In addition, it means that if you stop using your drug of choice (in this question - alcohol) you are highly likely to begin abusing another chemical (be it a drug, sex, food, gambling) and become dependent/addicted to that also.
I have become an addict for Tai food.
The precise reason that gambling can become addictive on a biological level is disputed. However, there seems to be a positive trend between gambling addiction and a particular set of genetic markers: the DRD2 gene, which is responsible for encoding the dopamine receptor d2, has been convincingly linked to gambling addiction. Dopamine receptors are implicated in many neurological processes, including cognition, motivation and pleasure. It has been found that drugs which inhibit dopamine receptors can reduce compulsive or addictive behavior in afflicted individuals. The up-shot of all this sciency stuff is that gambling releases chemicals that make you happy - this is what ultimately becomes addictive, not the act of gambling itself. People who describe 'gambling problems' are not necessarily addicts; a gambling problem just means gambling too much money. A genuine addiction is a chemical and psychological pathology with particular medical characteristics. Not everyone has the capacity to easily become a gambling addict, while others will become addicted following very limited exposure.

Of course you can. Age has nothing to do with it.
An addiction to gambling is an example of a love of money. In today's increasingly secular society, money itself has become a surrogate god, and gambling a popular way of worshiping it.
This would be someone who does occasionally take drugs socially, but someone who does not do this on a regular basis and someone who is not dependent on or addicted to any drugs. The problem, is that many drugs are addictive and an occasional drug user can very easily and quickly become a drug addict.
well i blame the pearents
Alcoholism and drug addiction can, and usually does, affect the entire family. When someone is suffering from addiction, they basically become a different person and are unable to care about their family members, and themselves, in the way that they should. Sometimes family members try to help, but are discouraged when they can't change the mind of the addict. Family members need to get help just as much as the addict does. The family members can get help before the addict decides to get help. No matter what the situation is, someone's alcoholism and drug addiction affects everyone around the addict. Hopefully this helped a little bit.
No form of gambling is safe. That's why it's called gambling. You could become addicted and lose your entire life earnings and investments. That's always the risk every gambler takes.
