If my sister is an alcoholic, is it likely that i will also be an alcoholic?

Family disease: Whether or not you drink, you are likely to have been affected by alcoholism in your family. You might consider attending a meeting of al-anon for the families and friends of alcoholics.

Not necessarly: Although, you might have a greater chance of becoming an alcoholic if close, blood relatives have such a problem. You may need to be careful and try to not consume more than one or two drinks per day. That means no more than 2-four ounce glasses of wine, 2-12 ounce beers or 2 ounces of whiskey or hard liquor per day.
