Although I enjoy a drink now and then, I never forget:
The trauma of growing up with an abusive alcoholic and the fact that I have lost my dad and two brothers to alcoholism. Gone. My dad was in his 30's. One brother was 16 y.o. and one was 42 y.o. at the times of their deaths.

I am sorry for your losses. My father was also an abusive alcoholic. Alcohol is directly responsible for his death. My brother picked up the same habit. I think when you watch people you love go through this, you view alcohol a little differently. In fact I've always been terrified I would fall into the same trap.
