Some people are genetically prone to alcoholism, and others can not assimilate it properly. If your body can not metabolize alcohol, then yes, it is poison. such as in the case of native Americans who should not drink more than a single serving at a time.

Nutrition plays a key factor in this as well. I would get into details on what I consider a diet that supports a healthy life style, but many aspects of which would be considered heresy to modern conventions.
