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’s genetics and behavioral, but it’s also physically addictive. Some people hit one or two of those and only heavily drink, or have an aversion to alcohol depending on their experiences. If you hit the trifecta like I did then alcoholism (alcohol use disorder) is likely. Other people don’t have a genetic predisposition, or behavioral problems that drive to the physical addiction, so they just drink “normally “.
