^^^ a good article for you shvler, you should actually read it
[B]
environment mostly just dictates how often alcohol is thrown in front of someone, it does not dictate how their brain will react to it, that part is mostly genetic.

^^^ higher alcoholism can be found in twins and adoption studies of those with gentic links, their chance of becoming an alcoholic was unaffected by their the adopted parent figure being a non-alcoholic[/QUOTE]
If you are trying to say that there is some percentage of people who will drink, and be genetically predisposed to severely abusing alcohol, then I agree with that.
If you are trying to say the [I]vast majority[/I] of [B]all[/B] alcoholics are alcoholics due to genetic factors, then that is not what the science shows. And I think that is shlver's point.

I'm saying that the majority of alcoholics are so because of genetics, yes. Not all but most, there is no proven percentage. I have read dozens of articles on this, just read the one you quoted.
Shlver was just out on a mission to show I don't know anything.
Me: smoking cigarettes leads to lung cancer.
Shvler: you have no understanding of cancer cells or how they originate.
Me: *posts mountain of evidence linking cigarettes to lung cancer*
Shvler: *ignores all articles* So you haven't the slightest clue about how cancer works, waste of time. Most cigarette smokers don't get lung cancer and you can't explain why because you don't understand it.
^^^ that's exactly what shvler just did

Everything is genetic though, if you're a dick who can't handle his booze you were born a dick who can't handle his booze[/QUOTE]
The being a dick part is likely environmental
Not being able to handle booz is likely genetic
