If someone admits to being an alcoholic, are they not dependent on alcohol?...much in the way a drug addict is dependent on drugs...also look at the following definition of addiction which illustrates the point:

addiction n 1: being abnormally dependent on something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming (especially alcohol or narcotic drugs) [syn: dependence, dependency] 2: an abnormally strong craving

dependency n 1: lack of independence or self-sufficiency [syn: dependence, dependance] 2: being abnormally dependent on something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming (especially alcohol or narcotic drugs) [syn: addiction, dependence]
