It does change the cells, yes it does

Alcoholism is heritable

"Damaged gene pool due to bad nutrition" how is that same as fetal alcohol disorder?

Same exact cause

No it's not.

Yes it is

If you only eat ice cream during your lifetime

Inheritable genetic defects and developmental issues are different.

And you then have kids

Your kids are more likely to develop illnesses

Alcoholism is inheritable in two ways
1: you witness your parents drinking, which encourages you to (not genetic)
2: Your mother drinked in the whom, which essentially means you've already drank alcohol (again, not genetic)

There could also be some genes that make one more prone to addiction in general as a reason 3.

true

But that doesn't change whether mother drinks during pregnancy or not.

That gene would be inherited anyway, even if mother was sober but had it.

Provided the gene was not passed on due to recombination of chromosomes and the dad didn't have it.

Anyway, ETBrooD really doesn't understand differences between genotype and phenotype...

That paper just refuted you

Keep sperging

Heritability of alcohol use disorders (i.e alcoholism) is not same as fetal alcohol disorder.

not even that, I think he's confusing genes with epigenetics and hyping up the latter as more important than it is

Oh it's not the same

Therefore what I said about heritability of alcohol abuse is wrong?

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

Doesn't disprove anything

@ETBrooD You really don't see a mistake you made during that screencap?

I'm sure you can explain it to me

I'm not too sure I can. There's limits to how low I can reach.

You can't, exactly right

Later on Whiic also said that a gene could be responsible as a third option, although that doesn't require the parent to be alcoholic and doesn't cause fetal alcohol syndrome

Because if you did, you'd disprove your own point

So you admit your level of education is super low?

That was my point. I cannot unretard a retard.

You're still wrong about heritability

Is there any twin studies on this?

@snake the paper I posted is from twin and adoption studies

I don't think you are actually low on education. You are just dumb. You probably have been taught how genes work, and you failed back then, when taught by a professional educator.

I think you lost the argument
