If you know any people whose parents are alcoholic you will sometimes find that they are alcoholic. Often the children avoid alcohol almost entirely. They saw what ti did to their parents, and don't wish to end the same way.

The disease typically skips a generation. However, the children of an alcoholic become what's called a 'dry drunk'. They manifest many of the same characteristics of an alcoholic but they don't drink.

But then, if you look at the children of those children, they tend to be alcoholics. While the disease may be passed genetically, there are learned behaviors of an alcoholic that become a dysfunction that's passed from one family member to the next.
