as for the Jones thing.... hmmmm I believe its not so much the beer, but the comfort factor you been engrained too... its what you done, your dad has done.. its what you find comfortable... more physcological than the desire/need for alcohol.. I do not believe my reasons for not drinking would match yours... my biological father was an alcoholic.. and I had vowed to be completely different from him.. its that desire that keeps me from drinking.. but don't get me wrong.. I have had to deal with my addictions.. food was mine.. and it can be just as dangerous to your body as anything else.. I turned to my own spirituality, and my Native American traditions.. to focus my energy on.. my brother has chosen to direct his energy into his martial arts.. whatever someone finds that helps bring out that inner peace... everyone is different.. but the end result is the same...
