I personally feel that alcohol addiction won't set in near as quickly as other substances. I have binged 4-5 days straight and had no cravings after. I usually have a crazy drinking binge for a few days and then stay off alcohol for a ~month-ish. On the same token, I certainly have college friends who fiend of that first shot or chug of MD20/20.

ssri addiction, huh? is that different than needing an ssri to not be dysfunctionally depressed? how could you not be able to stop compulsively taking something when you are already under its effects and will not ever feel it kick in?
and come on, cigg addiction worse than an opiate addiction? psh, "don't believe the hype"--or whatever they've been saying at the end of anti-smoking ads.

It depends on how you look at it. The withdrawals from benzos are worse than the withdrawals from any other drug, but people addicted to meth usually have no lives or family. The addiction to meth coke and heroin are far more widespread than benzos and alot more dangerous (although the withdrawals from benzos are the most dangerous). Millions more people worldwide are addicted to ssris so its the most widespread addiction but the addiction and withdrawals arnt nearly as bad as other drugs.

I personally would have to say that an IV Heroin habit is the worst. It brought me farther down then any other drug I have been addicted too. The sickness is a nightmare and If you let yourself get bad enough you will start doing horrible things to keep the monkey at bay.
A close second for me would be crack. It turned me into a fiend and I spent thousands and thousands of dollars trying to stay high and avoid that inevitable comedown from hell. All drugs are bad if you abuse them but these two have caused me a lot of heartache and pain that I will never forget.

I was, and I dropped em cold turkey. I almost killed myself several times over the next month. Thank god for the support of my father (not my mother or step-father, the abusive asshole), I'm still standing. Cops holding me down, the whole deal, I really tried, haha. in hind sight, I don't understand what happened to me, as that is not my personality at all.
I've never been addicted to anything else, but I have to say, I can't imagine how much worse it could get.

Basically, they're all bad for different reasons, and, depending on the type of person you are, those reasons can determine which one is actually worse on a person to person basis. Does that make sense?
Meth is probably the worst for you physically and mentally. It can completely destroy your CNS. There was a guy in the rehab I went to that smoked every day for 22 years. Every fucking day. When I met him, he was in his late forties, all his teath were fucked up, and he couldn't quit moving his jaw, his legs, or his arms. We would all sit down to watch a movie with the lights off, and while everyone else was falling asleep, he'd just be going a thousand miles an hour.
Alcohol is pretty bad on your body also. It can fuck up your liver, and cause stomach cancer. Withdrawing from an every day drinking habit, if you've done it long enough, can lead to ceasures and can acutally kill you. They usually have to use benzos to aid with the withdrawls if they're to that point.
Benzos can do the same thing, but there is nothing to help with the w/ds except more benzos, so they'll usually have you taper down, or switch you to one with a shorter half-life.
Cigarettes cause lung cancer, emphysema, and yellow your teeth (obviously, we've heard that since we were five).
Opiates (my DOC) really don't do that much bad to you physically, other that the ROA you choose. Obviously shooting destroys your veins, snorting fucks up your nasal cavities, and smoking is bad for lungs and throat. But as for w/ds killing you, they can't, and as for long lasting effects, there aren't many. BUT - the w/ds can be so uncomfortable, that you'll do ANYTHING to avoid them. This is what gives opiate addicts such a bad stigma. A lot of them resort to stealing and shit to get their fix, and call in to work if they can't get fixed cuz they're too sick.
Cocaine can cause psychosis/paranoya, and is extremely psychologically addictive. It interracts with your pleasure and reward center in your brain, telling it that cocaine = good, and that you NEED it. A lot of people steal to support this habit too. Malnutrition is also common with coke addicts.
Ecstacy can cause emotional and anxiety problems in chronic / heavy users. Using heavily for a while and then trying to abruptly stop can cause SEVERE depression.
Anyway, my point is, they can all be just as bad as eachother, and can also be fine. It just depeds on the person's physiology, actions, and attitude about it.

I'v seen a lot of good people underestimate alcohol, and just throw themselves at it's mercy. Im sure there are drugs that are worse then it, but the detrimental health effects, along with it's addictive qualities make it less then ideal. It kind of bothers me that people find it ore socially acceptable to get trashed at a party, but god forbid you do a nearly guilt free drug like Acid.

Methadone is horrible, after going off methadone cold turkey i can't imagine anything physically worse. I will say that in terms on long term damage meth really seems to waste people, i use pharmaceutical amphetamines everyday and I sometimes question if i should stop taking it after seeing heavy meth use effects which seems to kill people from the inside out. In the rehab i went to it was pre-dominatly meth users and prescription opiate addicts and some of the meth people were just gone, I couldn't even hold a conversation with them.
Anti-Depressants are nasty too, I knew a girl who beat cocaine addiction and never picked it up again but it took here years to get off effexor, she basicly hated taking it and had no desire to take it but they give people weird physical side effects. Ive heard so much crap i'd avoid them at any cost.

I think its a three way tie between Ice/Crack/Heroin
They are all just as bad as each other in their own ways

This is not correct. Opiates work by binding to opiate receptors. When they bind to these receptors, our body responds similarly to the way it would respond when endogenous opioid peptides bind to them.
Some drugs increase our body's production of a certain chemical, which in turn stimulates a certain receptor. Opioids, instead of increasing our endogenous opioids, directly act upon our opiate receptors. Now, they do increase dopamine as well, however, they do not increase endorphin production. Endorphin production actually slows down as a result of using opiates, because with an exogenous opiate doing the work normally done by endogenous opioids, our body attempts to restore homeostasis by lowering it's endorphin production.
