Well, I DID become an alcoholic -- I'm in recovery now and have 18 yrs clean/sober. But my grandfather got me DRUNK at 2 1/2 yrs old!!! I'm sure that didn't help matters! LOL Plus there is a long history of alcoholism in my family -- I think I was predisposed to alcoholism.

All I know for sure is that alcohol is dangerous -- and people nowadays can't seem to "enjoy" themselves without drinking! I'm thankful I don't have to live like that anymore.
