I don't know because I don't drink
My comment was actually meant for workouts, and that's because the theory works for me. However, I believe the addiction in alcohol comes with a benefit known to the person that takes it, because believe me if he/she is to be questioned of why he/she keeps taking alcohol? they'd definitely have something to say about it which may or may not make any meaning to you but would make a good meaning to them. In this respect, taking of alcohol can be so beneficial to anyone who has chosen that path.

Above all, it's far from what I meant when I said "When you begin to see the benefits, it becomes an habit", cause this is solely about working out and any other positive actions you take in life.
