I've had a lifetime of living and being around alcoholics and it is no more simple and no more complicated than what I just wrote.

Alcoholism is more of an emotional problem, in that some people need to get high or drunk, to feel as if, they are having a good time. People who drink too much, need to examine their need to drink, in large amounts.

The first shot and a half is a stimulant and then alcohol becomes a depressant. Too many people drink too fast and are over the edge of sobriety. IMHO

Driving high is the same, as driving drunk.

BTW - Wine coolers have the most amount of alcohol!
