Genetics of Alcholism

I really get tired of all this MISINFORMATION that a genetic basis of alcoholism has been discovered. Im going to blog on it one of these days from a laymans point of view. In the meantime here is a link to Stanton Peeles website. I dont necessarily endorse everything he says but he does a pretty good job of debunking the disease and genetics myths. Unfortunately, he seems to leave the spiritual out of the picture.
