Once again you are misusing the English language.  The original poster did
not say he drank, just that genetically he could become an alcoholic **IF
HE DRANK**.  Addiction means that the person addicted is a user of a
substance and suffers withdrawal symptoms if he tries to stop using the
substance.  The original poster is not addicted to alcohol, he is liable
to become so if he drinks.  I think you need either a refresher course in
English or to read your postings more carefully before flooding the net.
(Is it obvious that I find this person irritating?)
