What are some good studies on the problem of addiction? Lack of will power, self-control... psychological dependency?
What you described is compulsion. Addiction is chemical dependence.

Not entirely, there are social/environmental factors as strong as the chemical ones

Yes, that too.

That's semantics.
It depends on how you define "addiction".
Personally, I don't like the wider definition "I'm a sex addict", "I'm addicted to overeating", etc.
Even calling alcoholism addiction seems to be Tumbler-esque, since only some people seem to be subject to alcohol "addiction".

What about an addiction to shitposting and dank memes? Can you overdose?
