I had read an article of a group against alcoholism that drinking alcohol is habit forming. Maybe I can agree to that. But my take on alcoholism is the environment. It is similar to the chronic gambler who gambles because there is gambling around him.
My younger brother was an alcoholic and he died from complications brought about by his excessive drinking. I have seen the environment that tolerated his drinking. He even moved to the rural area so that no one in his siblings would interfere with his drinking.
Come to think of it – how can an alcoholic drink when there are no alcoholic drinks around? If the environment is against alcohol then there will be no alcoholics. When I say environment that includes the people who can be the bad influence to the drinker.
