This site is talking about an herbal product to help with alcoholism and withdrawl symptoms. It is straight forward and informational. I see no bias except for the fact that they may be trying to sell these herbal products. It is possible that diseases are brought on by alcohol consumption. It has its most harmful effects on the liver.
Alcoholics run a greater risk of gettin cirrhosis of the liver.
Genetics are a myth. Destruction of the body is very serious and others are also being harmed. This article was written by Amy Kliber who has a clear bias. She believes that genetics have no part in making an alcoholic. I think it is both genetics and a person's environment that cause a person to be an alcoholic.
