Emily Dickinson did have a father. His name was Edward Dickinson. He was a prominent lawyer and treasurer at Amherst College.
The jury is still out on that. At present there is no reason to believe that drinking by the father at the time of conception poses a threat to the fetus. However, drinking problems tend to be inherited, and there may well be problems later in life.
