Quitting alcohol doesn't have to hurt. I quit and it was the most joyful experience I have ever had! Read "Kick the Drink... Easily" by Jason Vale. It works.

And about the causation...
Genetic factors... children of alcoholics are likely to become one themself,
chemical factors... how your body reacts to the poison ( as said before some people are blessed to get sick immedeantly)
behaviouristic factors... you learn to be a drunk in a social setting
personality factors... pre existing problems
and of course... the alcohol itself.
I'm not a doctor, neither is english my mother tongue, I don't know disease entities meaning.
@Hammersley1967 drink.
Yes... student clubs and soldiers FORCE people to drink.
And alcoholism symptoms are easy to recall..
just say... dehydration, hangover, inadequate diet, inability to coordinate leave alone drive, Corsakov syndrom, swelling livers, increased risk of heart attack, serious brain damage, loss of conscience, picking fights, insulting people, loss of memory, verbal impotence, penile dysfunction, bad smell, ugly nose, loss of skin elastity, tolerance towards alcohol.

And the last thing I want to say is that alcohol isn't always free choice at all.
Many young boys and girls just start drinking because of peer pressure ( again similiar to unsafe sex practices).
In Europe the army, professional schools, University and sport clubs, even churches basically all social clubs or professional clubs are guilty of leading people to drink and think it is acceptable.
So it is indeed like catching a germ some where.
@Hammersley1967
And in FACT holding people down and forcing alcohol in their stomache by funnel really happens.
Though I never seen this kind of tactic, my self. It is a common known fact that places that have a strong drinking culture hardly ever except abstinency.
Also ... if you want to join a student club... They let you compete in drinking games first.
Student clubs also torture people into submission, to create an inflated ' honour' to belong to the club.
@Hammersley1967
hmmm... no in fact there is no law that you have to drink, which is implemented by drill sergeants or university deans.
It is more like a kind of involuntary peer pressure.
Normal peer pressure you will experience if you want to join a club or clique.
In students orgnaizations that peer pressure is in often formalized into some kind of initiation year in which you have to do ridiculous humiliatiing things, and get drunk a lot.

Of course... we are ALL intolerant to alcohol. Some people just happen to less intolerant to the poison, and many people get more and more used to it after a while.
This... in fact might also have genitical reasons.
I mean... in the country where my fiance comes from many people are moderate tolerant, but also many people are completly intolerant. They get drunk after one sip, and sick after one glass.
While, where I live everybody has a high tolerance.

And I heard rumors that in certain professions people even get drunnk on the workfloor, and consider you some kind of outsider if you don't.
So in certain environments young people, especially men get a much higher risk of infection with the alcohol than in others, making them vulnerable and decreasing free will.
Though I agree with you that not drinking is a sound decision. But I'm supporting a global ban on ALL drugs including most important... alcohol.
@Hammersley1967
Buddy... I said before that alcohol is not litearary a germ, it's just a paraphrase.
However many of the qualities of germs and diseases also apply for allcoholism and alcohol.
And.... how free you are to drink alcohol is relative.
Just think of student organizetions or the army. Where you either join the comrades in stupid drinking games or get excluded from the ' clique'.
social isolation is a bad bad form of torture, mate.
They also torture recruits physical if they refuse to

How ever, that other thing which you said, I didn't get it.
Why does it matter that the direct genetical causation for alcoholism hasn't been identified even bother you, there is such a strong correlation of alcoholism which runs in the family, even if the children are gven to adoption at early age.
Also, what was that about the biochemical factors?
Of course it has been proven that people vary in the degree of their alcohol Intolerance.
@Hammersley1967
Non whites... is not really researched very well, thought there are whole regions in south america and other primitve cultures were HIV virusses and other germs are raving, with enourmously high infection rate, though very few people seem to develope symptoms.
And alcohol is similiar. There are people who are simply immune to alcoholism.
They get sick and throw immedeantly, therefor cannot enjoy it.
Some regiions have a majority of those people.
@Hammersley1967
Though some of your aruguments might seem sound.
Your the one talking psychological absurdity saying peer pressure leaves still full personal free choice.
Maybe the army in america is different from our armies in europe.
Or maybe your student organizations are different, that's possible.
Let me tell you what they do.
In the army everybody HAS to drink.
There is always one or two brave people who refuse first.
