Answer:

Alcoholism is determined by both genetics and environment.

Explanation:

Alcoholism has a genetical component, (some people can have a predisposition) but this is not determinant since, the experiences lived influence greatly the individual the way he will solve his problems.

Several coexisting genetic variables differ in each individual, rather than searching for a single gene transmitted. Similarly, many stressing factors present in the environment can increase risk of alcoholism, because of their diversity, they do not have to be necessarily the same in every person. Environmental contribution may be linked to epigenetics, which refers to changes that ocurr in genes as a result of factors presenting in the ambient.
