Is alcoholism genetic?

I know there have been many disputes about this and I probably won't get what I'm looking for but I guess, I just want some opinions on this.

Last year, I had my first shot and a half of alcohol - tequila. I was 19. It was just one shot and a half that I had at friend's house at night. The next day, morning, I was craving for more. Throughout the day I was. This went on for another day after that.

My dad is a very heavy drinker. He's an alcoholic (drank morning, at brunch, in the afternoons, evenings, midnight every day, etc.).

Could there be a link?

* By the way, I hadn't had a drink since then. Too afraid I'll get lured in.
