10. People on both sides of my family died from that one

so I'm delighted I can't get near the stuff--all I get is a red face and raging headache, no party, just pain. I've been grateful for that.

Animal studies have shown a predisposition to alcohol addiction at 15%, and that's across species.

I ran across this today: https://www.sciencealert.com/new-drug-counteracts-intoxication-rapidly-sobers-up-drunk-mice It's a somewhat geeky article but I think this line of research will supply part of the puzzle. Solving the puzzle will help us find better treatments. It will be too late to help my family or maybe yours, but if we don't blow ourselves up first, there might be a future in which that 15% predisposition to alcohol addiction is a thing of the past.
