Myth No. 1: There is an addiction gene. There is no single gene, or set of genes, that determines whether or not a person will become an addict. And even if a person's parents are addicts, it doesn't mean they will be too. Current addiction research shows that roughly 50% of addiction tendencies are attributable to genes.
Alcoholism and Genetics. Genes do seem to play a role in the development of alcoholism, yet there are other causes also. There are many who believe, and research seems to back them up, that the child of an alcoholic mother or father is more likely to become drink dependent. In other words there is a link between alcoholism and genetics. Statistics seem to support the alcoholism genetics link: The COGA (the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism) states that the child of a drink dependent parent is 4 to 9 times more likely to develop the same problem.
