The chicken vs the egg question. The tendency to have addictive problems like drug and alcohol can be genetic. Some people are more prone to having addictions than others. There are other social factors that can contribute like our peers, family and friends influence as well. There is no simple answer.The fact is that its a complex combination of both.

Alcoholism can have both genetic and environmental factors. Some research suggests that genetics can predispose individuals to alcoholism, but environmental factors such as family history, social influences, and stressful life events can also contribute to the development of alcoholism. Overall, alcoholism is considered to be a complex interplay between genetic and environmental influences.
