Alcoholism itself is not something that can be passed down - in other words, you will not be born drunk and alcoholic. However, the tendency to become addicted to alcohol and other drugs is definitely passed down! People whose parents (and other family members) are alcoholics (or other types of drug addicts) will be far more likely to become addicted to drugs and alcohol, and will have a harder time kicking the habit. People with a family history of alcoholism should try never to drink more than one alcoholic drink every few days - and even then, they should never drink if they feel like they "need" a drink to change their mood! People who are not alcoholics drink because they like the taste of the drink - people who are addicted drink because they "had a hard day" or "need to loosen up" or "everyone else is doing it."

Are the Xanthochroi genetically superior to the Melanchroi?

Of course not. In fact, it is rare for distinctions to be made between those two groups. Bottom line, there is not a genetically superior racial group. All people have strengths and weaknesses, and it equals out. The whole idea of "genetic superiority" harks back to the really, really bad science of weighing brains or measuring skulls used to justify not only the subjugation of woman, but also slavery and the persecution of Jews and others during the holocaust.
