Are Children of alcoholics more likely to become themselves than children non-alcoholic parents?
Children of alcoholics are indeed at a higher risk of developing alcohol use disorders themselves, but this outcome is neither universal nor inevitable. Various factors contribute to this increased risk, including genetics, environmental influences, childhood trauma, and social learning. However, it is important to note that not all children of alcoholics become alcoholics themselves, and many overcome this risk and live healthy, fulfilling lives.
