I wish to ask members of the Group why it is that some people encounter
devastating setbacks in many areas of their life from alcohol use, say,
in their 20s and 30s, and  why others, who are very heavy drinkers and
who drink from an early age, never seem to experience difficulties
except for perhaps physical problems late in life that are likely
alcohol related.
 
I am curious if this issue is discussed at all nowadays; and I preferred
to ask the question in the usual, more general way.
 
I thank those of you in advance who would like to reply.  I"ll be
pleased to hear of articles, books, etc or receive a paragraph or two
resolving this question "once and for all" -- the quick fix.
