Is it because growing up with an alcoholic parent psychologically gravitates you towards it as well? If this is the case then I can understand that. But I’ve read that it’s genetic as well. How does that work if a parent became an alcoholic after their child was born? Or is it both psychological and genetic?

It isn’t alcoholism per se, but addiction itself that is known to be hereditary. Addicts become resistant to and crave the actual dopamine brought on my consuming substances. There have been at least 3 separate genes identified with the disease of addiction, and genes as we know are hereditary.
