Is sugger really addicting? I think we have a lot of sugar because it gets put in a lot of things whether we like it or not, but some of us (people like myself) found our tastes started to reject it. I found myself unable to drink coca cola or lemonade because all I could taste is the suger. I find I have a very small limit of what cakes or chocolate I can eat each day, then my body demands something with substance, something savory or full of protein.
Suger is the reason I became a damn alcoholic in fact. I found that other then water I needed something else to drink, and since I was getting headaches from all the pops and sodas and pure juices are sometimes more of a food then an actual thirst quenching drink, I found myself getting satisfaction from beer. None of the beers I drink have any sugar in them, that's the great thing about beer, it's just pure Water, Maize, Barley and hops. It's savory.
Trouble is I kept drinking beer every day topped off with the odd glass of water since beer may give you the taste and satisfaction you need but it's not always doing you much good in quenching a thirst. I found I couldn't go a day without beer, as I am now.
I often start drinking at 11:30 am and average between 3-6 pints a day. If I don't have any I get really agitated and can't sleep at night, often finding my mind shifting to doom and gloom. Thing is I'm nothing like Pasty from Absoultley Fabolous or Barney from The Simpsons in which it shows the alcoholic being permanently drunk. It has a lesser effect on my actual behavior me since I am so used to it's influences, but it still effects my coordination just like eveyone else, so I wouldn't dare go driving no matter how sober I may feel.
I won't say alcohol is the most addicting substance on the planet, but it is certainly more so then sugar.
