There you go again, with your "sugar-holics" theory.
Think back to when you were a child -- would you
have liked a 99% bar?

It's like chili peppers. I love chili pepper, and always
have. But 20 years ago, I could not have handled
the level I enjoy now. 20 years ago, I would have
been on the floor writhing in pain after eating a mere
6 Thai chili peppers. Now, I typically use 6 Habanero
chili peppers just to make a bowl of soup, and I
typically eat that much (or its equivalent) every day.
Sometimes more, sometimes much more. If I can't find
good peppers in the supermarkets, in a bowl of soup
I'll substitute a teaspoon (approx.) of Dave's Insanity
chili sauce -- the chili equivalent of a 99% bar.

Now, I don't go around saying that people who enjoy
Tabasco sauce are "addicted to vinegar" or "vinegar-holics".
I'm simply adjusted to a higher level of tolerance and
appreciation for capsaicin than other people. I don't
suggest that people who enjoy Tabasco aren't chili lovers,
or that the test of whether someone really loves chili is
whether or not they like Dave's Insanity sauce.
