Heroin Cure: Alcoholism and General Drug Addiction, What Is the Difference?

Question by Caffeine Fiend: Alcoholism and general drug addiction, what is the difference?
I don’t mean to get anyone’s back up… but I have never understood this so would appreiciate an explanation.

To quote the AA website:

“…Today we are willing to accept the idea that, as far as we are concerned, alcoholism is an illness, a progressive illness that can never be “cured” but which. like some other illnesses can be arrested… ”

Is it purely a social factor that makes it listed as a “illness”? That socially, alcohol is more acceptable than say, heroin, so someone who is addicted to it is a victim where as the person with the heroin addiction (which I dont believe is listed OR accepted as an illness either mediaclly OR socially) is generally not accepted as a victim in the same way.
