[QUOTE="K5FAL, post: 3279989, member: 44999"] Yes, it is a decision and I am not here to excuse bad choices. However, specific to alcohol, there is a gene that some people have which makes the brain convert alcohol into another substance that is very similar to opium. If you have this gene, drinking 4-5 beers on an empty stomach will put you on another planet! Then you’ll drink 4-6 more ‘chasing the dragon.” Self control is gone and dependence is imminent. My wife does not have this gene. Alcohol does nothing for her. She can have a few drinks (if you can even get her to) and she has no problem cutting off any more. Ive come to believe that a good self test is if you can stick to reasonable limits. Like 1 or 2. [/QUOTE]
