The body processes alcohol by first turning it into acetone. For some people, their body doesn't process the acetone properly. The build up of acetone creates a craving for more alcohol. It's kind of like if your body totnes water into salt, then the salt made you more thirsty. Thus for these people one drink almost unavoidably leads to many more. For this class, one drink is too many and a thousand isn't enough. They only way they can drink responsibly is to drink none at all.
