He was a nice guy, I met him multiple times at Metro when he couldn't travel to Canada, he used to fly NWA to meet the team at the next US city. Anyhow, looks like a good show, is it out? If not when? Thanks for posting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of it is genetics (Native Americans/Canadians are said to have a gene in which they're predisposed to addiction, and others such as the Japanese apparently have a pretty low rate of addiction when compared to their Western counterparts). Also head injuries are a key factor concerning 'bad habits' as people who suffered them have a much higher % of addiction afterwards. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe it's been shown that tendency towards alcoholism (and most likely addiction in general) is somewhat passed genetically. As in, even kids who were not raised by their biological alcoholic parents tended to develop alcoholism at higher rates than kids who did not have alcoholic parents at all. Suggesting that if you come from a line of drinkers, even with external factors removed, you're more likely to develop a taste for the sauce. And if you have European heritage there's like 100% chance plenty of your ancestors were heavy drinkers. If I'm completely wrong someone check me. I'm paraphrasing crap I read like 10 years ago.

I just read some article recently that Europeans are genetically evolved to consume higher amounts of alcohol and high fat content foods. The theory being if you're going to survive a harsh European winter you're probably gonna be drinking a lot and eating a lot of fatty meats. I kinda just skimmed the article thou.

It knows you would have Beer AND Fried Cheese Curds at every concession stand who could want more? I am ready to sign any petition for a Wisconsin team based on that alone. Probably based on dietary habits the seats would be bigger also.

I honestly don't care much for wine - it's beer/bourbon/scotch, and more recently rum for me. With craft beer becoming it's own food group - drinking here is accepted very casually.
