Using Hard Facts To Make Choices

  • 50% of alcoholics have alcoholism in their family
  • Of those who have familial alcoholism, 90% have 2 or more relatives who are alcoholic
  • Familial alcoholism tends to be particularly severe
  • Whether any person who was addicted to alcohol can ever return to “normal” drinking is the subject of controversy but the probability is particularly remote when it comes to familial alcoholism
