It is generally agreed that alcoholism can be hereditary, and if you have or had an alcoholic parent then you run a higher risk of developing the condition yourself than other people might. However, this does not necessarily mean it is an unavoidable situation. There are many other contributory factors that can compound the issue, so just because you have an alcoholic parent, or parents, does not automatically mean you will develop the disease yourself. It does mean, however, that you will need to be more vigilant than most other people, and keep a careful and honest watch on what you are doing when it comes to your alcohol consumption habits. Alcoholism does tend to run in families and it's felt that genetics are partly responsible for this. Much research is and has been undertaken to discover and understand those genes that make a person prone to developing alcoholism. In clinical research, it has been found that twins born to alcoholic parents, given up for adoption and living separately, have both gone on to develop alcoholism, and studies like this lend weight to the heredity argument. But popular opinion is that it's this genetic glitch, together with environmental situations and learnt behaviour from an alcoholic home that can cause the disease to develop. It's not necessarily just genetic… these other factors play a huge part in the whole thing.

One drink is all it takes.
There is no set number of drinks that makes you an alcoholic. You're an alcoholic when you become addicted to alcohol--when you're dependent upon the drinks to get you through. If you continue drinking even though you know there will be serious consequences to your health, if you feel you can't stop, if you're hiding your drinking, if it's becoming a problem in your personal life...you're an alcoholic. If that doesn't answer it for you, try the Alcoholics Anonymous website (www.aa.org). It has lots of information.
Mixed drinks are beverages made by combining two or more different types of alcoholic or non-alcoholic ingredients. These drinks can range from simple combinations like a gin and tonic to more complex cocktails with multiple ingredients. Mixing drinks allows for endless possibilities in terms of flavor combinations and creativity.
