Alcoholism Is Heritable to a Large Degree
Alcoholism is heritable to a large degree, and it's partly because the manner in which you respond to a drug of abuse is determined in part by biological factors. So i'll give you an example. I had this friend who was raising alcoholic monkeys. And he would take these wild monkeys, green monkeys, and and bring them into an enclosure, and then he would give them rum and coke. And five % of the monkeys would drink to coma on first exposure. Now, it limits you too, but it forms you.
