Cool

Going back to the OP.....: "...Will someone please help me understand whether or not infidelity can be blamed on alcohol?..."

Folks seem to want to give alcohol (and other drugs) way too much power. It's been said by some on this thread, and on other threads, but I feel it cannot be said enough. Alcohol, and other drugs, canNOT cause bad behavior.

Think of alcohol (and other drugs) along the same lines as hypnosis, even though alcohol (and other drugs) may lower one's inhibitions, it canNOT cause any behavior atall, not even bad behavior.

.....and the ever popular line, put forth by oh so many drunks (past, present, and future)....."I'd never have done that if I hadn't been drunk," or (I'd never have done that if I'd been sober," well, although most folks would like to believe that, and obviously, most (if not all) drunks would like to offer this as a reason for their bad behavior, it's total BS.

In other words, a person cheats, alcohol or no alcohol, drunk or sober.
