Addiction works differently for different people. Some can smoke a cig a few times and never do it again. Some can smoke crack and never do it again (though more unlikely).
I don’t believe coffee can increase or decrease someone’s addiction to alcohol. The addiction lies within the individual. They control the ability to cease an addiction to alcohol coffee isn’t going to magically stop them. It’s all about that person’s mindset, will power, and ability to control cravings/urges.
I also don’t believe people are addicted to coffee. Evident by the fact that you don’t see people pawning their TVs for another hit of java (unless of course it’s for Starbucks). 🙂

Yes a person can become addicted to coffee. And yes coffee as well as nicotine help with the cravings that alcoholics have
No it will never take the place of alcohol for an alcoholic. If you need more information I suggest that you contact you local AA and see if the will help you with your research paper.
