Alcoholism is a disease with a genetic component. Peoples exposed to alcohol the longest - for example, in Mediterranean cultures - have developed something of a protective effect against becoming addicted to it. Those introduced to it later - for example Russians, the Icelandic, Native Americans - are more susceptible. This is similar to outbreaks of other non behavioral diseases like smallpox that are most devastating to populations not exposed to the illness previously. It's not stereotyping to point out the demographics of a disease.

I was responding to Sylvia's post on page 2 of this thread.
That newyorker article is just selling the girl (implied topless in first pic, near moon shot in the next)...disgusting.
