i choose not to drink do to what i know about myself, i am a recoverying addict which anything that can give me a buzz may just put me back to day 1.

my son is an addict as well,he stays off meth as long as he stays sober, once he gets a drink its not long until he is on a mission.

sure some can drink a little here and there,yet awhile if ever addicted there is that wanting more.

like dope,some did a little just for a wake up,one day did alittle much and could not sleep that night,had to do some the next day to make it through that day.

i don't know about desease, i do know once hooked on any drug the door has been opened for addiction for just about everything else out there.
