I ask as this is an argument by many. It's genetic.

But I look at my cousin. He was adopted into my family. His biological mother was a heavy alcholic and his father a in and out of jail meth/crackhead. He met them when he was 20s. After one event of drinking far too much at 24 - as many young twenties do - he has never touched a drop of alcohol since. He's 43.

I admit that there may be a genetic issue resulting in a poorer ability to cope with situations or life which might be a mental health issue.

The reason why I say this my mother had an issue with drinking - poor ability to cope. Her mother - again poor ability to cope. Her grandmother - never touched a drop of alcohol & was phenomenal with her ability to cope with awkward, difficult, or hard situations.
