I have struggled with that for some time now. My father is an alcoholic, I am not. I never understood why he would consiously make a decision while he was sober to start drinking. He claims it is a disease, so it is not something he can control, but it always seemed like uch a cop-out, a way of not taking responsibility. I do think that some people are more disposed to being an addict. That would explain how some people can just have a drink and go on with life. or then again it could just be an excuse. either way I stay away from alcohol.
