Addiction is a psychological attachment to certain effects-such as euphoria and temporary feeling of well-being associated with drugs and alcohol.
Four reasons for drug addiction :
1. Peer pressure: Peer pressure is a powerful force which can compel one to take up drugs and alcohol. The desire to become socially accepted also drives one towards addiction as saying no can have painful consequences, ranging from being laughed at or mildly teased, to being humiliated, rejected, and even bullied.
