You’re basically correct about the mechanism of addiction but wrong about alcohol and relaxation. I drink maybe twice a month. It’s relaxing. I am in no sense addicted to alcohol. Alcohol is primarily a GABAergic, so of course it’s relaxing. Habitual use will down-regulate those receptors, and the addictive cycle is triggered by medicating the resulting anxiety with more alcohol. None of this is surprising. |
