First of all, borax (sodium tetraborate decahydrate) in water produces boric acid and raises the pH. So the studies on boron toxicity that refer to boric acid are absolutely relevant for Borax as well.
Just as a family history of alcoholism does not guarantee that you will become an alcoholic, neither does growing up in a very troubled household with alcoholic parents. Just because alcoholism tends to run in families does not mean that a child of an alcoholic parent will automatically become an alcoholic too.oth parents abuse alcohol and other drugs; the parents' alcohol abuse is severe; and. conflicts lead to aggression and violence in the family. The good news is that many children of alcoholics from even the most troubled families do not develop drinking problems.
It is generally agreed that alcoholism can be hereditary, and if you have or had an alcoholic parent then you run a higher risk of developing the condition yourself than other people might.However, this does not necessarily mean it is an unavoidable situation.here is a genetic factor as to whether that baby will be prone to becoming an alcoholic or not if the genes for alcoholism are high in either family (mother/father). However genes can skip one or more generations.
