>> Most people versed (or pickled) in alcoholism would tell you that the alcoholic is born that way.

And I believe most are, as well.

But not all are. But it is misleading to use the term "problem drinker" as if to segregate those who are genetically predisposed from those who aren't.

Alcoholism is alcoholism, regardless of whether the problem is genetic or learned. It is just as destructive for the victim, the families, and those killed by his drunk driving.
