Family Addiction?
Question by Darielle: Family Addiction?
My dad’s side of the family has a huge problem with addiction (especially alcohol and smoking). My dad got over his addictions. My mom keeps on telling my brother and I that if we have just one drink (I am assumimg a full drink) we will get addicted too. Is this proven scientifically, or is my mom just trying to scare us? Please state sources. Thanks!

She’s trying to scare you to protect you.
With a family history, you’re at increased risk of addiction but that doesn’t mean that you can’t drink at all.
You need to be extra vigilant of your habits is all.
