You are incorrect....there is a genetic component to it. The fact that it can be pinpointed in the neurotransmitters and DNA of an individual tells us otherwise. Moreover not drinking doesn’t relieve the cravings....and if you have never experienced them you are clueless.
Your comment is rather like telling a type one diabetic that if they don’t eat sugar they won’t be diabetic. You are so far behind the research it’s sad
DNA does not make anyone an alcoholic or drug user. There are markers that show a greater propensity toward rewards from such behavior, but a huge number of people never have issues, despite these markers.
A person who eats too much gets fat. That is also not a disease, yet larger people say they can’t stop it. Fat cells, after dieting, release more hormones to encourage eating to regain weight. Still, this “genetic” behavior does not make eating too much a “disease.”
Alcoholism is simply a matter of self-control, just as eating too much is, too.
