What are you arguing exactly... no one has an exceptional reaction to drinking that suggests a possible future problem, so I couldn't have seen one? alcohol has the same effect on everyone? no one gets addicted? alcoholism doesn't have a genetic component?
I observe someone undergoes a huge personality change after drinking and seems a lot happier. I get a sense that this person might have difficulty consuming in moderation.
It seems consistent with a physiological or genetic basis. Not trying to win a prize in genetics or logic, just to use common sense to understand the human behavior I'm seeing.
I guess it's also possible something our mothers did while pregnant made the difference. I believe Occam's Razor and the body of evidence point to a genetic basis. What do you think the evidence points to?

Sort of like it elegantly completed a chemical equation of some kind. http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a25749/rob-delaney-red-flag/ http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a25749/rob-delaney-red-... I can't relate to that at all...alcohol has no interesting effect on me. There's a science in studying genes and chemistry, and a sort of science in just observing people and life and storing things and noticing patterns and developing hypotheses.
