Yes, American Indians are born with a craving for alcohol or else the opposite.

It always made me sick, so I too was the driver, long before I had a drivers license.

I too have a brother who cannot stay sober and my parents drank too much.

I have thought for years that the alcohol craving was tied to the blood sugar and it is now said that diabetes is common in the American Indian.

LOL, my father is a half breed, my mother’s father a full blood and a Baptist Minister as is one of my brothers.

Odd how we humans turn out.

Sure seems that way. My dad won’t touch the stuff, and like I said, my sisters and I couldn’t care less either way. Both my bros are functiong adults, one in the Army, but they can’t handle their alcohol. Not that it’s jsut NA but it seems to hit them worse, and I’ve got a bit of Irish thrown in there as well.

I can’t drink enough to get sick—I’d pass out long before then! It hits me like a ton of bricks, literally when I get the first whiff—probably not a bad thing!

I can see where the blood sugar would have a lot to do with it. Too bad there’s not a shot- like for diabetes. Sure would save a lot of lives and heartache.
