What the chance of becoming an alcoholic?!


Question: What the chance of becoming an alcoholic?
When I was little, my parents would never drink.. And then the next thing I remember, I was about 10 when they started drinking. Just like I've read, it gradually increased and now I hate it. My parents drink beer, nothing else unless it's a special occasion and they drink wine. I stay out of the house as much as possible.. So I was wondering what's the chance of me becoming an alcoholic too??? I've never drank any type of acohol, not even a sip. I've always promised myself that I wouldn't do that to my kids and family.. I'm a 16 year old girl, if that is useful to know. Thanks in advance.

My parents didn't drink. I am a recovering addict. (alcohol is a drug)
My wife's daddy was an EXTREME alcoholic.
He died from chorisis (?) of the liver with 99% toxin in his blood and a perforated stomach.
She doesn't drink. She says the taste is terrible.
I have some friends who do drink socially and some friends who are "mean drunks" ( there but by the grace of God, go I)
Their parents did and didn't drink. My daddy's brother did.
Look, all I'm saying is that you may or may not have "alcoholic tendencies".
So, what are your chances?
50/50
Either you do
Or don't
My daughter was afraid of the very same thing. When she turned 21, I was with her when she had her first taste of alcohol. She can't stand the taste either.
May God be with you.

18 years of recovery.

Drink. It won't kill you, unless you down a bottle of Russian Standard a day and I'm sure you can control it. Don't listen to boring christians saying something else.

None. Because you haven't even drank

Kate--
You may never have to know, if you do not drink. I know what beer does to kids, I used to drink, and it hurt my kids bad.
I no longer drink, and things got better, I hope you never drink.
I have been sober 17 yrs now, and if I could live my life starting at 16 again, I would not drink, not even once.
Please consider this.
