Bad experiences with my parents and family drinking early on. I could not count the amount of times I was asked by a drunken mother or stepfather which one I loved more and who I was going to live with...only to have them forgive and forget themselves the next day. The house torn apart, dishes and windows broken, being treated as a second hand citizen in your own home.
I don't miss any of those things in my life. I understand my experiences with alcohol in my family life aren't necessarily those of the majority, but it most certainly shaped my view.
As I grew older, my stance was easily adapted into my religious views as well.
