Even in the AA book, it is clear that there are 'normal' drinkers who enjoy alcohol, even go on a bender once in a while.

Just because someone drinks alcohol does not mean they are alcoholic.

Like with any disease, it's good to look at the family history. I have a friend in AA who hoped that the disease would "skip a generation". NOPE!

Nothing wrong with drinking - and definitely nothing wrong with NOT drinking. Some people never have tried it and are just not interested. Like me and smoking.

Just some two cents from me.
