Parents of Alcoholics: Does My Drinking Habit Have Anything to Do With Growing Up With an Alcoholic Father?

Question by Pebble Beach: Does my drinking habit have anything to do with growing up with an alcoholic father?
I never drink till the point of being hammered. But whenever I’m under some sort of stress & pressure, I resort to alcohol. Do you think my father’s history of alcoholism might have affected my behavior?
Whoever said I was blaming him? I’m curious about the psychology within family dynamics and whether or not there’s any correlation between past and present. If you cannot answer intellectually, well, there’s your problem.
