I figure my mother's side of the family is to blame, for my alcohol problems. A good Pole has no problems with alcohol. 😉
Wisconsin had several waves of immigrants, predominantly a different ethnicity for each. First came the Poles and Germans, then the Russians and Dutch, followed by the Swedes and Norwegians. Honestly, by the third generation of cultural blending I'm amazed that there was still a viable liver anywhere in the state. My mom's side of the family was from the south east, blue ridge and smokey mountains, mostly Scottish, Irish and Cherokee. If ancestry is an indicator for alcoholism I was born looking for a place to pass out.
