The statistics that I have seen are higher for children of an alcoholic parent to become alcoholic themselves. I am not positive, but I think the percentage is, if one parent is an alcoholic the likelihood of the child becoming an alcoholic is 50% increased over having parents with no substance abuse issues. If both parents are alcoholics the likelihood tips way over to close to 95%. Alcohol is a subtle destroyer. It has very little if any positive effects compared to how many lives it has destroyed. Drug abuse is a much more blatant, in your face, killer. Where it may take alcohol ten or twenty years to kill, drugs can do in a fraction of that time. Drugs can do it through different means too. If not through an overdose, you could get aids, shot for buying in or selling in a bad neighborhood, sent to jail, etc. To sum it all up: alcoholism & drug abuse are both a means to an end - an end to life.Health Question & Answer
