Does age affect alcohol and heroin addiction?

I have hear of stories of a lot of grown-ups and middle-aged men getting addicted to heroin. I wonder if this is because they are ripened already. Does age really matter when it comes to getting addicted to drugs and alcohol?Does age affect alcohol and heroin addiction?
Yes, age does concern when it comes to getting addicted to drugs and alcohol. Contrary to what you indicated, though, teenagers are more likely to become dependent on drugs and alcohol, fairly than middle-aged individuals. This is because teenagers are still undergoing developments within their brain, and alcohol and heroin can impede growth, causing long-term and even undying damages. According to a research ran by the National Institute on Alcohol Use and Abuse, those who start drinking back even reaching the age of 15 are actually four times more prone to developing alcoholism than those who start drinking at age 21.
It take the human body less than 12 hours to draw from a heroin addiction. LESS than 12 hours! Age does not matter.
I one-sidedly believe alcohol addiction has seriously of variables: family history of drinking, not that it have too much to do with it overall; availability/ease of access, my mother did not lock up our liquor, but I didn't drink excessively, any; role models, etc.
