Alcoholism requires some sort of emotional trauma or personality disorder to be present in order to manifest itself. Alcoholics are self-medicating for mental issues that could be solved by therapy or other interventions. The availability of alcohol and other drugs is not the driving factor behind addiction.

While you're correct about availability, the rest of your statement is absurdly reductive as well as incorrect.
