Addictated

After watching Dumbo, my kids wanted to know how Dumbo made a square bubble. I told them that he didn't really, but that he had consumed alcohol, which had mistakenly fallen into his water trough. So he only thought he was blowing square bubbles and seeing psychotic pachyderms. Anyway, a discussion ensued in which we talked about the effects of drugs and alcohol on the body, including nicotine, illegal drugs, caffeine, and alcohol. We talked why people would do that even if it detrimental to your body (I told them because it makes people feel different, ostensibly "better"). Later on in the day Aleah revisited the subject and said "Why would anyone want to be addictated to something?"
I thought the word was apropos. When we are addicted, we are enslaved and, as such, "dictated" in our actions. Who do I call at Oxford's?
