I don't agree that we are totally stripped of it. The only free will that we have and can control is the one over ourselves.
Next time your are thirsty try to refuse yourself water. Try to stop your hair fro, growing. Try to say to alcohol to stop making you drunk and rather control your driving in your own way.
You are talking about body functions, which are universe away from the will. You can't control influence of alcohol, but you can control yourself not to consume it, anyway ....

I guess it's like that "what came first the chicken or the egg" question. Actually, I think both of us are right in many respects, because if we really look at it, even our very lives our not our own. We're just borrowing them. This is why people should be more appreciative.
