This seems to have a high chance of causation/correlation confusion…i.e., If one is someone who is going to be an alcoholic due to factors that are environmental, genetic, etc., then they are more likely to take a drink at a younger age. Its not that the first drink caused the alcoholism, but they were predisposed to do so (to some degree).
