If you gulp your drinks instead of sipping, you might be a genetic alcoholic. Watch someone drink wine. Alcoholics tend to take bigger swallows and they finish their drinks a lot faster.
If you get drunk just about every time you drink you might be a genetic alcoholic.
If you have blacked out a few times you might be an alcoholic. Same with driving home drunk a lot.
Good book about all of this:
"Drunks, Drugs, and Debits: How to Recognize Addicts and Avoid Financial Abuse"
by Doug Thorburn.
This book is different because the author suggests that people do not BECOME addicts because of psychological problems, but they suffer from psychological problems because they ARE ADDICTS by genetic disposition, which is the reverse of what many psychologists think.
