> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > My kids are genetically prone to be addictive. Everyone one in my family is on alcohol or other, in many stages of addiction. So I preach.beg. talk til I’m blue. About this issue. Funny though it looks like the lil’wrekker may be the one who might have a problem someday. She had her wisdom teeth out and other dental work last summer. She had 30 pills of vicodin, and begged for every one I would give her. It was obvious they made her high. She has no pain tolerence, at all. I have had the big talk with her about fun drinking at college. And showed her examples in our own family of the ugly results of years of abuse. I hope she’s getting it. I know I come off like Debbie downer about it. I have to do it though. I feel like a flimsy piece of paper between her and addiction, at this point. So far, no issues yet. I am watching. How do you square that with this post? > [@Was I on another planet while the opiates explosion occurred?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/was-i-on-another-planet-while-the-opiates-explosion-occurred/813999/12): > > I have never had a doctor just willy-nilly prescribe oxy or hydrocodone. You kinda have to beg for it if you need it around here. My daughters dental surgeon gave her a prescription for generic Advil, after wisdom teeth removal. I had to call him back to get the real stuff. Then I had to drive over to pick up the paper script, they wouldn’t call it in. > My dog bit hand got me 16 oxy. No chance of getting addicted around here. I’m just curious. These two posts seem completely at odds. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/well-i-just-took-a-hydrocodone-and-i-dont-see-what-the-big-fuss-is-about/814292)._
