Just thought I'd ask this as when I was at the Mexican deli at Food City early this morning for discounted menudo, some of my neighbors were discussing this and it was a refreshing change of pace as it did not involve politics or the police or Trump or the 85006. Interestingly enough, this topic brought up some heated debate both pro and con in the deli - so heated that a manager came over and asked the crowd to respectfully keep it down for the early morning shoppers in the store.
I myself have been brushed with alcoholism through my father having rage issues when drunk, which was often. Disease though? I've always accepted this without thinking it through - but this morning's discussion at the deli really is making me think. I know we have some medical folks here so I'm hoping a few might chime in with their thoughts. I'm no scientist or doctor (LOL - this is meant as humor, ok? And I don't play a scientist or doctor in the 85006 LOL) so I'm not going to claim I have the answer here - I'm just curious what other people think. And this is what I consider a cool topic, too - cool in the sense that issues with alcohol transcend anything artificially created by humans such as social class - this one doesn't care what your zip is or what you make or what you do for a living or what you believe or don't believe - some people just seem afflicted by this and some are not. Thoughts? Rob
