My entry for DA and Motherboard's Transformation contest seen here:
http://moonbeam13.deviantart.com/jo.....enge-458736141 , likely a work I've poured more time and heart into than any other I've ever done so I hope it shows.
The work represents personal struggle I've had all my life, not with alcoholism but absolute teetotalism. I've been exposed a lot of alcohol fueled abuse when I was young so I vowed never to drink, but I think now, perhaps, it was not the alcohol I should avoid but rather what drove man to become such a monster.
I fear at times my devotion to not drinking hindered my awareness of this catalyst and perhaps I too may become a monster if I do not learn the truth.

I have severe bouts of depression from time to time due to overactive neuroreceptor stimulus, and the one time I had half a four-ounce glass of Vodka my sister had brought in for a party, it was like everything was working 'right' for a change; I felt playful, energetic, and not at odds with myself constantly for being lousy. It was like, a part of me that was working overtime, trying to constantly be perfect and correct all my faults, could finally sleep.
I can see how people can develop a dependence on anything; depending on their brain chemistry and life situation.

Different people react differently to different drugs, too. I've had DNA testing, and smaller amounts of certain antidepressants like Citalopram can really make me feel suicidal, cause they work unpredictably in my system. As for addiction, there's probably a genetic mechanic behind development of a dependence, as well...
... and then of course there's just becoming over-reliant on chemicals in place of other solutions to your problems. Not to say you can't become overdependent on other things in life. Alcohol is not some kind of demon embodied.

People's genes can change to create chemical addictions, genetics aren't fixed if they were nobody would age. So even someone that's not prone to it can become that way after a few years of exposure. Heck your body can get addicted and dependent on its own hormones so just about any thing can be a catalyst for an addiction.
In the piece alcohol is not the demon but rather using escapes and scapegoats to get around confronting your own personal issues and that it can still happen even if you chose to be a compete teetotaler. The lesson is to simply not shy away from personal problems even if they hurt, the backlash, or as I called it the demon, is far worse than any painful discoveries you may find through self analysis.

I choose not to drink not through abuse, but knowledge.
I don't care HOW well someone claims they can "hold their drink", they're not immune to either the mental or physical effects. I doubt they invented a computerized brain and a mechanical liver yet.
Call me a wuss all you want, I'll have the Pepsi.
