Question: If alcoholism runs in my family, how do i know if i have or will inherit this disease!?
Alcoholism is in my family but i didnt clearly understand it until now!. Grandfather was a terrible alcoholic and mother has inherited the disease but avoids it by not touching a drink in 25 years!. If uncle (250 lbs) touches one drink, he gets mood swings and very aggressive!.


How do I know if I will inherit this disease and if so, what are the characteristics i should be watching for in my drinking life!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You don't inherit alcoholism, you may inherit the genes that will make it easier to become an alcoholic, but you won't become one unless you overindulge on a consistent basis for a long period of time!.

You can become a problem drinker regardless of your drinking history, but you have to work at becoming an alcoholic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
