And since you looked it up in the DSM-V you'll already know that the only behavioral problem of that type accepted by it or the ICD is "gambling disorder" (not an addiction and only grandfathered in as a disorder). Mis-using terms in legal contexts like these should get the cases thrown out at the very least. But it is also dangerous for our society to continue to call literally everything an addiction in informal contexts. Our legislators and elected officials do not know the difference. And what they do in response is far more dangerous and damaging then the imagined problems they think they will stop. |

As someone who dies inside when people use "on premise" instead of "on premises", I understand your battle, my friend. Thank you for the reminder.
