Is Go an Addictive Drug
   

This question is inspired by

  • "[ext] Go - An Addictive Game (simpler to just say "An Addiction," no?)
  • "Go is a game with the longest history. Once addicted, most people cannot shake the hobby. It’s addicting power is not less than that of alcohol and sex" (at [ext] Yutopian: Go Stories).
  • a story attributed to Dr. Hong -- "you can't reach first kyu until you've lost three girlfriends to Go" -- mentioned in American Go Journal.
  • And by an intriguing-sounding webpage that seems no longer to exist, "Robert F Nutter's Go" - described as "a personal story of go addiction" -- which I haven't read, but truly would like to.

And of course, by certain personal experiences I shouldn't bore you with.

Thoughts? -- TakeNGive
