Eh, I would call it detrimental evolutionary baggage which is exacerbated, preyed upon and encouraged culturally due to a socioeconomic structural necessity, to the point of self-harm and manifestation of junky mentality on a mass-scale. But that’s just me;)[/quote]
Actually, I agree with this post of yours Arraya, and that’s why I say problem drinking is a mistake not a disease. Don’t make the mistake of going along with all of that and you will be O.K.[/quote]
Will-power has the capacity to overcome genetics.
I don’t believe that there’s a single gene for alcoholism. It’s a combination of genes. Therefore alcoholism will always be around even if alcoholics stopped having children.[/quote]
I think maybe it is hard for you to imagine how will power can be buried in negative experiences? I am not at all making the claim that alcoholics have weaker wills. They have lost the ability to apply will to reasonable self care. I am very sympathetic to their plight on this. I am not sure where or how intervention helps but I have heard it can.
