    Alcoholics are compelled to drink. It is a compulsion They don't abstain from drink when they can't afford it.
    Agreed, when they can't afford to drink they will pawn or steal something to get the money.
    The compulsion to drink overrules anything else, which is why I can't see someone being compelled to drink who is also compelled to kill, one or the other is not true.

      An addict can have multiple addictions though surely? I once booked in a prisoner whose first words to me were, "I'm a crackhead, I'm a smackhead and I'm an alcoholic." I would be astonished if there were no alcoholic serial killers.
      I won't always agree but I'll try not to be disagreeable.

        I agree though that one compulsion will always take priority over the others.
