The thing is, my grandmother was an alcoholic (is an alcoholic?). I just found out this summer that that was the reason my uncle doesn't drink and same with my cousin. I also found out that my aunt has started going to AA for her alcoholism. I know addictions have a tendency to be genetic and frankly I'm already the type of person to use things like alcohol or sex to get over my problems. That's why I've made the conscious decision not to drink or do drugs or any of the other things that I've tried.
It's hard sometimes though, especially when all of my friends are doing it and are obviously not alcoholics. So I just want an opinion. Am I overreacting by cutting out alcohol altogether? I don't really like drinking a ton, but am I going too far by not allowing myself even a casual drink?
