You can believe whatever myth you want but alcoholism is a disease under ADA. Many abuse alcohol because they have untreated mental health disorders and don’t realize it. So they self medicate trying to feel better. It’s generally accepted that there’s a genetic component also which is why it tends to run in certain families and while some people can have a drink or two and others can’t stop after one.

Luckily people can and do stop everyday but it’s a lifelong struggle for many. Alcoholism is not a moral failing and you aren’t superior if you don’t have it.
