My buddy says he gave up drugs because it interfered with his drinking.
You seem to know something about the subject, your right alcoholics don't care much for addicts. However, visit an N.A. meeting and let him introduce himself as an alcoholic. Being an alcoholic, does not make you knowlegable about drug addiction. They do share many traits. It's the social issue in most cases. I assure you to be educated on both sides of the coin. Your buddy did a smart thing, at least he is not still dual-addicted.......
