Just to clarify, do you also consider alcoholism to be a metabolic problem/disease? Face it, we (in general) can drink a lot more than "normies." I'm as big a drunk as my grandfathers & other relatives were - I see a huge hereditary component in my case. Same pattern of abuse. I understand your point, though.
