Best Answer

The term 'drug' usually refers to something that changes the way your body functions. At the same time 'addiction' can be broadly defined as something that interferes with normal every day life.

It's difficult to give a definitive answer without clearly defining the term 'drugs'. However, it goes without saying that an addiction to something like caffeine should affect your body less than an addiction to opiates.

Ultimately, substances such as narcotics, stimulants, depressants or just psychoactives in general all lead down a destructive path when heavily abused. Results will vary from person to person, but often a drug addiction will result in shortened lifespan and perhaps even a lesser quality of life itself.

Such a question is too general. With certain drugs, a life may be saved. With the very same drugs, in excess dosages, a life may be lost. Type of drug, dose, frequency of administration and characteristics of the individual taking them - all affect the response obtained.
