I commend you in trying to help your brother – just remember – he is in charge of his own destiny.
Therefore I decided to give you a little information on Al-Anon – for loved ones trying to help; like yourself.
Who are the members of Al-Anon and Ala teen?
Al-Anon and Ala teen members are people just like you and me–people who have been affected by someone else’s drinking. They are parents, children, spouses, partners, brothers, sisters, other family members, friends, employers, employees, and coworkers of alcoholics. No matter what our specific experience has been we share a common bond: we feel our lives have been affected by someone else’s drinking.

Q&A: Is it possible for someone to develop alcoholism after one session drinking?
Question by Snapple: Is it possible for someone to develop alcoholism after one session drinking?
If alcoholism runs in a family, like a parent, is it possible for the child to become an alcoholic after getting drunk only once? Does the same answer pertain even if the child is highly aware of the dangers of alcohol?
I know that it ordinarily takes a long time, and develops after abusing alcohol many times. It’s just good to check, though.
Yeah, but I’m asking if it is possible for someone to become an alcoholic after getting drunk once…just once.

If alcoholism runs in my family, how do i know if i have or will inherit this disease?
Question by EZ: If alcoholism runs in my family, how do i know if i have or will inherit this disease?
Alcoholism is in my family but i didnt clearly understand it until now. Grandfather was a terrible alcoholic and mother has inherited the disease but avoids it by not touching a drink in 25 years. If uncle (250 lbs) touches one drink, he gets mood swings and very aggressive.
How do I know if I will inherit this disease and if so, what are the characteristics i should be watching for in my drinking life?
Best answer:
Answer by raysny
You don’t inherit alcoholism, you may inherit the genes that will make it easier to become an alcoholic, but you won’t become one unless you overindulge on a consistent basis for a long period of time.
You can become a problem drinker regardless of your drinking history, but you have to work at becoming an alcoholic.

Q&A: Alcoholism is considered a disease, so what about overeating?
Question by Yomi: Alcoholism is considered a disease, so what about overeating?
There are people who can drink and not be addicted. There are people who can eat the wrong foods once and a while but not all the time. Then there are people who want nothing more than to stop drinking or stop eating the wrong foods, but fail at every attempt even though their very lives are affected in horrendous ways by it, whether they are too drunk to play with their kids or too fat to run around with them. Do you think food addiction is as real as alcoholism? I know I am opening up an opportunity for some mean spirited answers, but I don’t care. I want to know what the general public thinks, and why nothing more is done for it.
Best answer:
Answer by Dustin M
Yes, Food Addiction is DEFINATELY an addiction. Just like drinking, smoking, self-harm, drugs, or any other number of addictions. They all have something in common: They release endorphins.
Eating releases endorphins when you eat stuff that tastes good.
Drinking releases endorphins because your body “loses” control of it’s chemicals and releases just a bit too much when you’re drunk.
Self-harm releases endorphins because when you hurt yourself (example: cutting), your body makes natural painkillers to help you out in your time of pain.
Drugs release endorphins because, well, they just tell the body to not stop releasin’ them. That’s why cocaine/ecstasy addicts become depressed because those endorphin pathways get so tired they break, and nothing (including your “happy chemical” endorphins) can travel across them.

Does a person with alcoholism in their genes have a chance of drinking normally?
Question by Abigail: Does a person with alcoholism in their genes have a chance of drinking normally?
If a man has a high percentage of blood relatives with alcoholism, does this mean he is more likely to misuse alcohol due to genetic faults or through learned behaviour, or is it a self fulfilling prophecy?
Best answer:
Answer by Erulastiel
While he may have a stronger tendency to drink too much than most people, his genes are not in control of his drinking habits. With a bit of will power, he can avoid alcoholism. He may have to go to the extent of not drinking at all, but it can be done.
