My grandfather was a crazy alcoholic, the type who drank rubbing alcohol if he had no other choice. i didn't personally know him he died when i was a baby but ive heard family stories about his alcoholism and they were wild.

Well both my parents were alcoholic but of the three kids that marriage produced only I became alcoholic. It is a result of the way the liver processes alcohol. I'm at work and don't have time to relate what I've learned on the issue. But when I say genetic predisposition I'm saying that it's physiological and if the body processes alcohol differently the condition can develop.
Bottom line, I cannot control my drinking, my brother and sister can.
