There's also a question of whether or not it is relevant to include this as a medical condition, which I hadn't considered before. Should this information (alcoholism) be included in medical notes?
Best regards,

I think its an individual choice. At what point do we stop entering information? Do we mention the mumps at 3 or the chicken pox at 4? For me it gets back to relevance.
A family member has never married , not because of his sexuality , but because he prefers a bottle over a bottle blonde. Is it relevant? We see many instances of family trees where siblings are mentioned as single , with no further qualifications. I am not certain how I will resolve this - currently listed as single.
I myself have issues with alcohol. Am I an alcoholic? Not certain I would qualify medically but others may say I am if I cant have a drink without wanting another. Is it worth mentioning on a family tree? It may well be the last thing I type in as I slip off the perch.
