Same here, except that I WAS the child of an alcoholic father. Yet, I decided not to touch alcohol even during my teenage years. The only hard liquor I've ever finished off were three peach schnapps, taken on three different days some twenty years ago. I haven't touched anything else since then.
My father did wise up in the end, but the damage was already done. After suffering from various health problems for ten years, he died last August of liver cancer at the age of 75.
So no, I don't want a drink.
