For myself I actually have the same problem with other things like sugar and caffine. I've quit coffee many times and end up drinking it again to excess usually 8 cups a day. Same with biscuits lollies and chocolate. Usually I avoid having them in the house or Ill eat them all.
With lollies if I have one I find it very hard to stop once I start. I notice other people arent usually like this but some are.
Alcohol is worse still because It intoxicates and makes control even more unlikely.
I guess this is an argugument for an addictive personality or whatever ironically I dont really buy into that. Or maybe its a sugar chemistry issue...
