So there's no arguing with that.
Except that's never been definitely proven and all that has been indicated is that some people's Gaba(b) receptors are more easily interfered with by alcohol, so they can develop a physical dependence problem quicker than someone with more resistance. Just like, for example, how someone with a slow metabolism will become overweight on less food than someone with a fast metabolism, but somebody with a naturally fast metabolism can still become overweight if they abuse food for long enough.
