Beginning thousands of years ago, drinking alcohol was a time of socialization. Drinking occurs in various different religions. The drinking in these religions I feel is light. I feel as though religious and cultural drinking could never be serious. A religion could begin someone's addiction to alcohol but cannot involve drinking various amounts of alcohol.
In my opinion most religions are against drinking. They believe that drinking more than a certain amount of drinks is sinful. I know in the Christian religion they believe in drinking wine for Communion but not more then a sip or two. I do not feel in general that serious drinking can be caused by someone's culture or heritage. I do not believe that one cultural is more easily addicted to alcohol then the other.
Although I do not believe that someone's religion or culture can cause serious drinking habits I do believe that it is part of he or she's heritage. I believe that being an alcoholic can be inherited through generations. For example, if a mother is an alcoholic I feel as though the vunerability to alcohol is passed down to her children. I feel as though it makes it easy for the children to also become addicted to alcohol. If no one in the family has an addiciton to alcohol, then the descendants or that family will have a less likely chance of getting addicted to alcohol.
