Is alcoholism hereditary?

Question:

Answers:
Some evidence suggests it, but no direct link has been discovered as of yet. I, personally, don't believe there are direct genetic involvments with any addiction. Genetic predispositions to addictive behavior, maybe, but not to any particular type of addiction.

Other Answers:
yes

yes it is.

unfortunately it is

NO!

its not even a disease you loony.

it is, however, magic - if you can afford such a grand hobby

Yes and no. If your parent is one you are more likey too. You are predisposed but you won't neccesarily become one.

i believe there are people who inherited it, some acquired a taste for it, and became addicted.. because it became a crutch. i believe some people do not even like alcohol and drink out of boredom. there are many reasons someone becomes an alcoholalic. but always remember the saying practice makes perfect. drink long enough.. and often enough you can just fall into a pattern u cannot break.

Definetely yes but as long as you choose not to drink to start with you'll be ok.

alcoholism IS definately a disease n having alcoholics in a persons immediate family does make a person predisposed to it ..but its a life choice n 1 that u can avoid.

no .and that is my professional answer.
there is not a tiny bit of scientific evidence that says so.

It could be.

Partially, but it's also a social disorder
