Alcoholism isn't a trait, it's a toxic local culture

You definitely feel generational trauma in that as well. I'm still traumatised by one of my kids murdering their brother and wrecking my succession strategy 😂

Since transgenerational trauma is primarily spread throughshared family environment alcoholism can be part of it. While environments aren't tied to a person/aren't genetic, they are still are inherited from those before us, and since it is something we have more influence over, recognizing and fixing issues with them is important.

Local culture?

You don’t find a lot of it in muslim countries, and it is rampant in Russia.

Sure, but you’re thinking of alcohol. You can be an alcoholic or a drug addict within any culture. I find it’s a bit dangerous to think some cultures don’t have addiction issues.

People with addiction issues are all around. Doesn’t discriminate, really.
