Nobody is born an alcoholic. Shockingly, plenty of people are born with bodies that retain fat, even fed the exact same diet as a skinny person.
And I sure hope you're carving out an exception for the many many people in the world who are fat because it's a side effect of a medication they are forced to take for an unrelated health condition. Or should they feel bad about their bodies too?
- bloaf 4y agoAlcoholism is in fact hereditary.
- kennywinker 4y agoThere are genetic risk factors for developing alcoholism. That's not the same as being hereditary. You're born at risk for alcoholism, not born an alcoholic. But either way - I don't actually think that alcoholics are bad people. I think that they have an addiction and would benefit from access to resources that help with that. If they want to drink til they die, I'm not going to shame them for that.
