Alcoholism is a genetically predisposed illness. I would suggest that if you have a parent who is an alcoholic...stay away from alcohol!!! |

IF a child grows up seeing incorrectly learning that alcohol is a way of life and should be part of your daily doings, the child will have a bigger chance of becoming an alcoholic. http://www.cmcsb.com/questionsa.htm He would grow up, subconciously thinking, that alcohol must be taken daily in order to grow up correctly. |

Absolutely, but it can be avoided. Addiction is a disease, and it is learned and inherited, and sometimes genetic. Addiction to anything, including drugs, food, sex, even video games, is an obsessive trait that can usually be traced from our parents. But if you can identify it, you can learn to unlearn it through self taught discipline, and then pass that to your children. Even if you do not suffer from active addiction. |

YES! If a parent is alcohol dependent, there is a very strong possibility that their children may be as well.Heredity. |

Alcoholism is genetic believe it or not. My grandfathers on both sides of the family were alcoholics. My mother grew up and hardly drank, he brother has a serious drinking problem. My mother only has one brother.
My father has 3 sisters, his father was a severe alcoholic. My father became an alcoholic. His 3 sisters are moderate drinkers.
I have 4 brothers. I never touched the stuff myself, I never touched drugs or tobacco either. 3 of my brothers drank. Two of them have become addicted. The reason they have become addicted is because alcoholism runs in the genes.
Your best bet is to stay away from alcohol, don't tempt fate. If you have a parent who is an alcoholic, your odds of becoming one are 50/50.
So once again, friendly advice, don't even touch the stuff. |

Alcoholism is a desease and it is genetic. Also you have to understand that children emmulate what they see growing up. If a parent is an alcoholic it is very likely that a child will be one. It is also likely that they will marry one. A child can break away from the cycle but it is hard. |

This is a tricky one that goes back to the psychological conflict of environment vs. heredity. It is possible that a person may inherit a gene from a parent which may possibly predispose him/her towards drinking. However, it is more likely that such an individual may pick up the habit simply by watching that parent model that behaviour within the confinements of the home environment. However, there are definitely exceptions to the rule, whereby a child growing up, seeing the negative consequences derived from the parent's actions, may be resolved NEVER to touch liquor/alcohol. |

I think that a parents role in affecting thier childs adulthood is a VERY strong one, but it has to stop at a certain point, YES a child is affected, and has a stronger tendency to drink if thier parent(s) did so, BUT those are tendencies that they can fight as adults! |

No because it is a personal preference as to whether or not they even like the taste of alcohol. |
