Answer by love<3
Absolutely. Addiction is a disease and it’s genetic. SO if there are a lot of alcoholics in your family then you are likely to have an addictive gene. And it might not be alcohol; it could be food, drugs, sweets, or sex. But if you have an addictive behaviour with food you should be careful with booze. But as far as drugs, its almost equally as addictive to everyone. And going on more than one drug won’t change that except that when quitting one habit its often easier to get another one. But smoking won’t make you more or less likely to have another addiciton.
I hope this helped.
Good Luck!
