> You might be in the minority

> What would happen if you had an existing alcohol/opiate/etc addiction?

IIRC studies have shown that about 9-11% of Americans have/had an addiction. I think you should consider trying to find out if your assumption that the majority of people have addictions is substantiated.

This article[1] claims 21 million Americans (out of 330+ million) have addictions, although it only includes drugs and alcohol.

> your assumption that the majority of people have addictions

that's not what I said


After rereading, I agree with you.
