When addiction becomes commonplace in a society, people become  
addicted not only to alcohol and drugs, but to a thousand other  
destructive pursuits: money, power, dysfunctional relationships, or  
video games. A social perspective on addiction does not deny  
individual differences in vulnerability to addiction, but it removes  
them from the foreground of attention, because social determinants are  
more powerful.
