alcoholism - generational gender switch?
I read in a psychology book that alcoholism tends to switch gender with each new generation....so the daughters of an alcoholic Father will be more likely/prone to become alcoholics than the sons. How true that is in the general population, I don't know.....but certainly in my family, it applies.
Is it true in your family?

interesting......
paternal grandfather = alcoholic
father = alcoholic
my younger brother = totally anti-alcohol (has never even tried it, refuses to go near it!
mother= totally anti-alcohol (I don't think she has ever had more than a sip) total co-dependent, but she was "stern?" She was the one that wore the pants in the family
me= social drinker (I rarely drink)
