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]
Again, it’s not nearly that simple. Will-power means fuck all if you don’t change your environment. And a vast amount of other pressures may be inhibiting the opportunity to do that. Also, a genetic contribution can be induced without it being “passed down” due to environment. So “procreating” alcoholics is not the entire issue.
