Is there a genetic component in alcoholism?

  • Posted on January 12, 2011 at 12:17 am

My father is an alcoholic and I’ve always stayed away from alcohol because of it. I have never once tasted alcohol in my life. My boyfriend has recently came home for a few weeks from the army and wants to have wine with dinner. I’m terribly afraid because I don’t want to become an alcoholic like my father. I have a 6 year old daughter that does not need that in her life. Are my fears justified or not?
