@Travelinglady there is a good very informative documentary that I recently happened across on YouTube called “Wasted”. This documentary explains the science behind alcoholism and how certain individuals are prone to developing a problem. They discovered these individual have fewer dopamine receptors in their brains and yes that’s hereditary. They now have medications that are very affective at stopping the cravings and that can help someone finally stay sober and live a healthier life.

It’s the best documentary I have seen so it’s worth searching for it to watch.

It’s called “ wasted” and it’s directed by Maureen Palmer.
