Genes play a role in ones alcoholism, but other factors such as lifestyle and stress contribute to a person's risk of becoming alcoholic.
A huge red flag that an individual may be developing an alcohol addiction is when an individual that drinks repeatedly neglects their responsibilities at home work or school; an example of this is when an individual does not show up at work because they are "hung over" after a night of binge drinking.
In 1981 the Surgeon General first advised that women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects.
In a study of parents who significantly maltreat their children, alcohol abuse was specifically associated with physical abuse.
