Question

• A. experimentation
• B. transient pleasure
• C. peer pressure
• D. alcohol addiction

Answer 1

The correct option is D alcohol addiction

Addiction is a psychological attachment to certain effects- such as euphoria and a temporary feeling of well-being generally associated with drugs and alcohol. Urge to experiment, curiosity for new experiences, peer pressure, family environment and many more things trigger individuals to start taking some addictive substances like tobacco, alcohol, drugs, etc.
Addiction is in fact a condition of being dependent on a particular routine substance, thing or activity and it grows gradually. So, if someone is taking alcohol for the first time, it cannot be due to its addiction, it can be due to any of the causes that urges one towards the alcohol. After getting used to it, one with addiction will continue to misuse the substance in spite of experiencing harmful effects of it.
