Alcohol does not force anyone to do anything. Alcohol does not have a personality Alcohol does not make your choices Alcohol does not define your thoughts Alcohol is not a person Alcohol has no control

You are the one who makes the choice... You are the chooser and the doer.

Alcohol is not magical, it is not a demon, it is not a wily adversary.

Alcohol is a choice

It’s a metaphor? It’s not saying the chemical ethanol in liquid form is literally cunning and has a personality. It’s a just a comment on the insidious nature of addiction.
