I just got done talking to my friend. And in the conversation she mentioned about her brother that have alcohol addiction. She said that it is hereditary in her family. Her father and her grandfather and the gran-granfather has the same problem. So is it true? If being an alcoholic being you have disease, isn't it nice if we can invent a medication that can cure it?

no its not hereditary infact i have a poem in answer to this :-
I read this in the paper,
And it really made me think;
That a quarter of all road accidents
Can be blamed... directly... on drink.
Now statistics, they tell you, will never lie,
But be wary of how they're used;
You need your wits about you,
It's easy to get confused.
If a quarter of accidents are had by drunks,
Then sober people have all the rest;
That's 75% if I'm not mistaken,
... (My maths never were the best).
But I'm not entirely stupid,
And I plan to stay alive;
So I'm gonna start driving drunk,
I'm three times more likely to survive.
but it just a funny poem don take it seriously.........cheers
