Did this get off topic? LOL.. I'm game. I just wanted to point out that I wonder how they QUALIFY subjects to study? I pretty much like 2-6 drinks per day. Less lately, but rarely ever ZERO. My point is that I am the definition of a full blown alcoholic. The stuff really calls me if I try to go a few days. Now a month or so if force and all is forgotten. Been a while for that.
But if it is genetic, then whats the TRIGGER. I recall that first beer at 13 given by an uncle. Not another till 16. Poundin 12 packs of cheap beer one or two friday nights a month in late high school. Every weekend in college. Still, I did not start drinking daily till late twenties, and for self medicating job stress. Now, I get pretty damn stressed without it daily, and especially with work related issues. But also of course it now transposes over the being a dad stress, crazy wife stress, and all stress. Or just a wind down at the end of the day. BUT THERE IS NO QUESTION IT CALLS ME..
FIRST - So the definition of an alcoholic is someone who needs a drink on a regular basis, even if a small amount, right?
SECOND - So why does it matter to scienceof there is a gene causing addiction to alcohol anyway, when clearly ANYONE can become addicted to it!?!?
Polically it appears to be a MASS STONING potentially setting up. Further it woul appear an attempt to QAULIFY folks unfairly. So then will next they agree I am not an alcoholic, but I am a GENE @#$%$##@ which is characterized by COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR, or a gene that is characterized by HIGH STRESS.
The problem with this kind of science in REALITY is that it sets up for MASS FAILURE in the civil and criminal court systems. So now a person has 3,4, or more TECHNICAL REAL REASONS for a certain behavior that may have contributed to a crime or civil tort, by which they can now not be held accountible OR even make unfair recoveries from other parties. So finally you would have a drunk that runs over and kills someone's child who gets off the hook for an unforseen medical condition, who the turns around and sues his doctor for not diagnosing him, the manufacturer of the booze he drank, the Pharma Company that makes the drug to negate his condition, the federal and state regulating authorities, and the parents for allowing their child to walk on the street unsupervised for the STRESS of the event caused to him which is now caused an official diagnosis of the stress gene.... LOL
