>>I identified three causes or you, two of them genetic.

I’m not convinced that there’s any genetic component to alcoholism.

You can look up the genetics of alcoholism and there's the process all laid out for you right down to the detailed chemistry.

I think you are confounding genetic alcoholism with alcohol abuse. Two different things ~ many people ~ the majority actually, who are unable to metabolize alcohol do not use it and so do not develop any of the pathologies associated with the condition ~ that is, they do not develop alcohol abuse problems.
