Genetic, I agree with that.... But there are exceptions of course. lol

In my case my daughter was 16 the first time she had a drink here in our home, every since then she would have a drink maybe 6-8 times a year. she went off to college and never did the wild things . She turned 21 this last year and alcohol is not a big deal for her, she can buy anything she wants... but seldom does ...

She swears that my exposing her to it early took away the thrill of it . Her and I went out drinking while I was down in Florida , felt damn good ! stumbled into a cab to head back to the hotel. Oh yeah shes Bipolar I too.

I still feel that the patient and the doctor need to agree or disagree about whether a drink is good or not.

There is no simple answer to this touchy topic .
