i first gambling in sportsbook and 15 age, because I like the sport and my friend offered me a gamble if the lose had to buy a drink to which win
What drinks you are referring? Those alcoholic drinks? You are very young to have your first gambling sports book experience. So basically most of the gamblers are alcoholic drinkers too. Good thing that I do gamble closely to the legal age I was 17 by that time and I also bet with sports bet by that time but in real life.
To be honest, yes, most gamblers are alcoholic, but sometimes, one of this two ( alcoholic or being a gambler ) is the key to start the other. I my self started to drink alcohol first, and later on I started to learn gambling because of my friend maybe because of peer pressure. Lucky that I was never addicted to both of it, but my friends are.
but i think it is not necessery that every gambler will be using alcoholic, i think there are so many people who play gambling for fun and enjoyment so i think it is not important that they will be addicted to alcoholic also.
Well, in my experience, the two are associated, just like sex drug and rockenroll which is also true to most famous rockstars. When you are a gambler, you look for a friend who are also gambler, and even if you are not alcoholic, as I've said, peer pressure will lead you to it since that's the usual habit of a gambler and a drunkard, they do both. Gamblers usually don't mingle with boring people who are straight with their life so you have no choice but to live with it, mingling with gamblers who are also drunkard.
But anyway, back to the topic, to associate alcoholic and gambling to young age, well, they are adventurous, they try everything that old folks do, just like how we learn how to drink alcohol, we see it from our parents, neighbors, and we try it out of curiousity or we've been forced by friends, same as in gambling.
