Is there a relationship between IQ and alcoholism?
There is some evidence to suggest that individuals with lower IQs may be at a higher risk for alcoholism. However, the relationship between IQ and alcoholism is complex and influenced by various factors such as genetic predisposition, environmental influences, and social factors. It is not a direct causation, but rather a correlation.
How do you prevent alcoholism?
One way to never display alcoholic symptoms is to never drink. I believe Alcoholism is considered by the American Medical Association to be a chronic disease, like Diabetes. Check their web page to see what they say about alcoholism. People I know who have recovered using the Alcoholics Anonymous recovery program tell me that alcoholism to a three part disease; a) physical, b) mental/emotional, and c) spiritual. Apparently, when an alcoholic drinks alcohol, it triggers an involuntary allergic reaction. For alcoholics, the reaction is an irresistible physical craving to drink more alcohol. That is why they keep on drinking beyond normal amounts of alcohol. For more about this, you can read the book "Alcoholics Anonymous". My recovered alcoholic friends tell me that if someone has to count how many drinks they are having (trying to prevent getting drunk, again) , has ever passed out, blacked out, driven drunk, repeatedly drank more than they wanted to, or has a distinct personality change when they drink then they might already be, or may be becoming an alcoholic. On the other hand, the Jude Thaddeus Program (soberforever.net) appears to be the most effective approach to alcohol dependence and alcoholism in the world. It is a research project operated by the Baldwin Research Institute, a New York State not-for-profit organization owned by taxpayers. Independently-conducted research has established an overall success rate of 63.5% for the Jude Thaddeus Program. This compares to a success rate in the range of 0-20% for conventional programs. Alcoholics Anonymous(AA) reports a success rate lower than 5%. Research also indicates that no treatment at all has a success rate of about 30%. This suggests that traditional programs are less effective than doing nothing.

How can the alcoholism can be spread among people?
Alcoholism is not spread the way other diseases are spread. There is no bacteria or virus that causes it. Alcoholics in recovery tend to prefer the term illness to disease. There is probably a genetic disposition to it, so that a person disposed to it very likely progresses to alcoholism and physiological dependence if alcohol is available. Of course, if not exposed to alcohol then a person, even if genetically disposed, does not become an alcoholic. So there are several factors, genetic and behavioral. In countries like France, incidence of alcoholism is a little lower than in some other countries, even though the per capita consumption of alcohol, primarily red wine, is higher than in the US. This may be because of an over-all culture in France that respects and loves food and wine, and that has elevated them both to the level of art. We in the US detest food, as evidenced by our constant need to do battle with it rather than respect it. In contrast, indigenous peoples of North America seem to have a higher than expected incidence of alcoholism, probably due more to genetics than to anything else.

What do you notice about the population growth rate of the developing countries?
The population growth rate of developing countries tends to be higher than that of developed countries. Factors such as high fertility rates, improved healthcare leading to lower mortality rates, and limited access to family planning services contribute to this faster growth in developing nations. This can put pressure on resources and infrastructure in these countries.
