So you just think its a coincedence that in a family of 7 children, 5 of them are alcoholics? and their father was an alcoholic, and his siblings? Lol
Not trying to argue of course here but I have to agree with the others that I think it runs in families.
I think its a carrying thing, kind of like how people can carry the gene to have twins, and not have them but they can pass it on to their kids. Some get them and some dont...that makes sense in my case anyhow. :P
