You are asking for a lot…
The biggest thing I can think of is the Human desire for Intoxication.
Animals know to seek out fermenting fruit for the caloric increase of the fermented sugars AND for the intoxicating effects of the natural alcohol.
The difference between someone that likes to drink and an alcoholic is the genetic variation of the combination of factors of “The Addiction Gene”.
As with the gay gene, there is no “One Gene”, but a series of biological factors and how your brain responds chemically to substances that leads one to go from “I like alcohol” or “I like opiates” to “I CAN’T STOP DOING THIS!”
Look up Doctor Drew’s website for a LOT more info on this topic.
You can become ‘Dependent’ upon alcohol or opiates, but if you do not have the series of factors, mental and biological, that make up a propensity for addiction, you can detox from the substances and walk away, never to do them again.
The same chemical and biological factors in Addiction work for both the “Obvious” like alcohol and meth but also other things that trigger a chemical reaction in the brain but are not innately intoxicating like food, extreme sports, shopping, gamboling, etc. etc. etc.

Watch 2 Men Recover from Addiction by Going to Rehab
This is the story of two guys who experienced addiction in their own way but both got help by accepting the gift of drug rehabilitation. The progressive and gradual addiction to opiates often starts with teenagers experimenting with pills like Opana and OxyContin in High School. This chemical dependency can often end in heroin addiction with a risk of overdose and death every time the drug is used. Alcohol is still the most widely abused drug in the world. The character in this animated film named Eric is experiencing a typical progression that we see in our treatment center – lack of employment leads to frustration and drinking is used to change the way the unemployed individual feels and this can lead to alcoholism. Treatment at a good 12-Step based drug rehab like Sunrise Recovery has proven to be the recommended course of action for men like Taylor and Eric who’ve lost control of their drug use. Sunrise Recovery is in Riverside, California and features a very holistic evidence based treatment regimen that addresses the mens’ psychological, physical, and spiritual being to make sure the man learns about the underlying issues that contribute to the addiction and also provide him tools to live a life free of drugs and alcohol.
