Why do some people engage in alcoholism?

Some of us have "addictive personalities." Basically, it means we tend to become dependent on something that -- at least in excess -- is harmful to us. Alcohol releases inhibitions and dulls our perceptions. Some people need this. After a while, the chemistry of the brain changes and they become alcohol dependent; that is, if they don't have alcohol they become physically ill -- addicted. Alcoholics don't "engage" in alcoholism -- they are helplessly dependent on booze.
