      Is the alcohol in all the alcoholic beverages what makes them addictive (not only beer). Alcohol is addictive because if you drink it too frequently the brain gets used to it and wants it to function ok. Alcohol is a toxic and a drug, it is addictive.

      well said Gonzalo! The molecule called Ethanol is the problem [ EtOH ]
