Hi Blacky - I don't you are defective at all! (sending you virtual hug!)
Alcohol is a drug - same as heroin. The difference is its not socially acceptable to shoot up at a kids birthday party or to advertise it on tv. We are submersed in a culture that normalizes drinking - but it doesn't make alcohol any less of a poison. It's just interesting that we think we are deficient because we don't handle poison as well as others. I also can't handle arsenic either, but luckily they aren't serving it at Boston Pizza lol
You are 100% ok. We all are - it's just that are learning to recognize alcohol for what it really is.
