Like lets say I have a kid. And wait till he’s 10 or something and sit him down and explain drug use or alcoholism, and pretty much tell him he’s screwed due to a lineage of addicts?

Drug addiction (in its broadest sense, alcohol, heroin, perhaps even chocolate or sugar) has a genetic component. So if you have alcoholics in your family you have two risk factors: genetics and the social component, and you should be very careful with addictive substances. But as always, this doesn’t mean that if you are within a heavy drinker family, by definition you will become a heavy drinker too.
