No. It may seem genetically inherited when multiple family members have the same problem, but what really is going on is basic learned personality traits. If your father has had several negative experiences in his life and has developed emotional problems as a result, he will use alcohol as a way of dealing with those issues. His children, in turn, will also have emotional problems and deal with them by using alcohol simply because they learned this behavior from their father.
