Independants

Any artifice brings an advantage, real or subjective, otherwise it would not have been introduced. For example, grape pressing and vinification allow grape juice to be preserved for very long periods. The wine therefore has, beyond its ritual value, an objective advantage, especially in the absence of a refrigerator.

However, the significant absorption of alcohol, not predicted genetically, has serious health consequences. To the direct dependence of a preservative whose suppression would be disadvantageous, add an dependence due to effet-pervers, as a result of genetic inadaptation of the brain to withstand high blood alcohol levels.

It is therefore necessary to distinguish two classes of addictions: a dependence on the first type simply linked to the advantages of artifice and the loss of its suppression; and an dependence linked to its effet-pervers, which involves neurophysiological mechanisms whose harmfulness is obvious, and can constitute an addiction. The examination of any fireworks shall be carried out in the light of these two components.
