Hello. If I had an urge for alcohol since my early teens and it was uncontrolable should I give in to it and become an alcoholic? Or should I fight this urge in me and stay away from all temptation that could lead me to be an alcoholic eventhough I'm going to have this urge in me all of my life? Thank you.

How does this question have anything to do with being gay? Yes I get it but you know maybe instead of trying to annoy these people why don't you just mind your own business and let them live in peace.

Having had a parent that was an alcoholic I can tell you, don't go down that road, it's a bad end. If you feel you cannot resist the temptation, do what you can to avoid the situations where it is present. Take a look at your life style and think of some ways that you can modify it to reduce the temptation. Change your leisure activities... hell, change your friends if you need to. What ever it takes it is worth it.

If you were left handed, and yet you were forced to write with your right hand, even though you never really got the hang of it and were quite capable of writing with your left hand if you had been allowed, would it be better to give in to the frumps who told you what you should do, or would it be better to live up to the full potential that you were born with?
(pssss --- just a hint: it's annoyingly arrogant to suggest that a sexual orientation that you don't share is akin to an addiction. I suggest you apply the analogy you've used about alcoholism to your own sexual orientation and see how well it fits for you.)

I see where you are going with this question, and still, like almost everybody else, you're comparing apples to trucks. No relation.
If you drink alcohol everyday, morning noon and night and become an alcoholic, you will not only hurt yourself, but you could hurt others. Not to mention that your vision, thoughts, and speech are impaired while intoxicated. You could hurt a loved one, or God forbid if you get behind the wheel and drive. Then you could kill someone.
Now, how does this question relate to the LGBT, section?

get together with a friend and have a glass of chilled chadonnay. Drinking alcohol does not mean that you are an alcoholic. Depending on alcohol in your everyday life makes you an alcoholic.

NO! You never give in to alcoholism if you clearly see that you won't be able to control it. If you give in the FIRST chance you get, you know you won't be able to resist after that. The first step is the most important. If you resist NOW you can be assured that you can resist it again and again. This is your first test to refrain from doing something you will regret for life, so put all your strenght into it and fight it. It's all in your mind and you have the power.

You have a tendency to become an alcoholic. Stay away as far as you can from it. Find a hobby and do other things in life thats worth while.

You are either an Alcoholic or not. You cannot choose. You can, however, choose not to drink. And that is YOUR CHOICE.
From experience though, if you decide to drink, and you are an alcoholic, you are potentially opening yourself, your family and friends up to some hard times and most certainly some heartbreaking disappointments.

You probably think you are very smart for posing the question under these propositions, don't you?
You forget one thing. you don't fall inlove for alcohol, nor you cry fot it. alcohol has no human qualities, and has no reciprocity. Get it?probably not.
if u have an urge to being an idiot, then be an idiot. it's your choice, nobody will stop you.

IF you have an addictive personality, IF you truly have a "thirst" for alcohol and you have tired it, I suggest you may be a genetic alcoholic. Be very careful here, you could well be throwing your life away. good luck
