re: #27 EmmmieG
In my family, my great-great-grandfather was an alcoholic. Two of his grandchildren were lifetime alcoholics. Two of my siblings were drug addicts.
We have the talk.
The talk is necessary, and even if alcoholism isn’t genetic, depression, anxiety, and other conditions that could lead to alcoholism certainly look to be.
Complete disclosure:
My brother was an alcoholic, my son is an alcoholic and most of my wife’s siblings were/are alcoholics or drug addicts.
