What does it mean to be addicted to intoxicating liquor?

  1. Having a preference for non-alcoholic beverages

  2. Using liquor excessively to the point of losing self-control

  3. Occasional consumption of alcohol in social settings

  4. Being an occasional drinker with no adverse effects

The correct answer is: Using liquor excessively to the point of losing self-control

Being addicted to intoxicating liquor typically refers to a pattern of drinking that leads to a loss of self-control and an inability to manage one's alcohol consumption. This condition is often characterized by a strong craving for alcohol, increased tolerance (needing more to feel the same effects), and withdrawal symptoms when not drinking. Individuals may prioritize drinking over other important activities and responsibilities, which can have significant negative consequences on their physical health, mental well-being, and social relationships. The other choices represent behaviors that do not align with the concept of addiction. A preference for non-alcoholic beverages does not involve alcohol use at all, occasional consumption in social settings does not suggest addiction, and being an occasional drinker with no adverse effects indicates that alcohol is not having a detrimental impact on the person's life, which is contrary to the nature of addiction.
