I think it really revolves around addictive personalities. Many people in my family have nearly ruined their lives with alcohol addiction, and I have a very similar personality to virtually every one of them. So I don't drink. I know people who can easily drink all night or just as easily go sober for a year just by choosing to (and have seen them do both without a sweat). I know that if I drank there's a good chance I wouldn't be able to do that, so I take precaution and just don't drink. For some people it's perfectly fine. It really does depend on the person. Having an addictive personality doesn't make you a bad person, it just makes drugs/alcohol a bad choice.
