Alcoholism
#31
RE: Alcoholism
Then you and I have defined the term Heredity in different ways. This is what I suspected was happening.

I can't bring myself to go look it up, I hate doing that, so I will just say that I think that is a very allegorical use of the term, and certainly not what I thought you meant. I maintain that I think Heredity (but not as much inheritance) has to mean genetic code, and appreciate you differing view.

Thanks again,
-Pip
