A real drug addiction is mostly/all physical (withdrawals). Anything can be habitual mentally. And yeah, if you don’t get addicted to alcohol you won’t get addicted to most drugs, because alcohol is very addictive to begin with.

Well, you are assuming all drugs are the same. Some addictions are psychological. People develop a psychological addiction to the drug. There is also physical addiction. Two cases of physical addiction right off hand: alcohol and heroin. With alcohol, if you do not drink, you go through physical withdrawal symptoms–you get delirium tremens and you get the shakes and such. With heroin, you become very ill for a few days during withdrawal.
