Well, some people are more prone to alcoholism than others. It's called prealcoholism or something of the sort and even before somebody ever drinks alcohol they can be more apt to becoming one. These people usually take more alcohol before they get drunk.
I guess you just have to control how much you drink.

genetic predisposition, learned behavior, changes in function of neurotransmitters (i.e. tolerance), age of onset behavior (i.e. the earlier you start drinking, the more likely you are to develop alcoholism).
