First and most important, Congratulations on your upcoming year of sobriety. That's awesome.
For some reason, I find that when I drink beers in Europe I don't seem to get nearly as as I would if I drank as much here at home. if it is actually the case, but I drank LITERS of high %age beers in Munich and it didn't affect me like it for sure would here.

The old nature vs nurture, medical vs mental school of thought is outdated. Everything is intertwined.

What does this mean exactly? It's all nature now? Or vice versa?
It’s both.
So nature vs nurture:
Someone becomes an alcoholic. The old argument was; that was hereditary (nature) vs they became that way because of their environment/upbringing/etc (nurture).
Now the understanding is that person’s genetic makeup may have put them at a higher risk range, so like 60-80% likely to develop alcoholism, and then their environment/upbringing/etc determines whether they’re more at the 60% end or the 80%.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that's what I thought was the current understanding with the advent of epi-genetics... but I thought it was this way for a while now so your post made me wonder if current understanding is being overturned.

Oh no, and yeah I guess it has been a while.
1. I guess wishful thinking on my part that that much time hasn’t gone by
2. I’m also used to explaining things to people who have no idea.
Wasn’t expecting to get this this year, but being recognizable at local beer places means you get flagged down when there’s something special hiding behind the counter.
