  1. I grew up with wine from an early age as a child.
    Now our family has been drinking wine with water for centuries and to be honest if I didn’t have any I would not miss it.
    However, I don’t have it much because of the alcoholics in our community that has caused problems
    We drank watered down wine. A drop of wine only a drop, and the rest water. We were told not to guzzle it down but to sip it slowly and swizzle it in your mouth and appreciate the taste.

    Now I see people drink in one glass 3 of the glasses of what I had in one glass.
    I honestly think people are stupid with alcohol

    So I really don’t miss it.

  2. The pre-disposition to self-medicate is much higher among Children and Grandchildren of Alcoholics.

    William Bailey (Indiana University) studied that in the 1990s!

  3. children of a family with a hereditary predisposition to alcoholism are exposed to it early and are aware of the symptoms, whereas children from a dry house might actually have it worse…
