How is alcoholism hereditary

648 views

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?

Some people get a better buzz of off alcohol then others making them more likely to get addicted(and better off never ever starting drinking), this appears to be an inherited trait. Jorden Petersen did some research on this where he found groups of people who would get much more annoyed and anxious as their blood alcohol level slowly dropped after drinking and thus felt the need to continue “topping-up”. I’ll add also stocism and willpower are probably partially inherited too.
