it can be.. but dont worry.. its also alot to do with imviroment(sp).. as long as your teaching your child what is right and wrong and he/she isnt brought up around drinking . they should be fine..
i dont know ur religion if you have any but keep it in prayers..

I've had plenty of babies. Alcoholism runs in my family. It's also a conscience choice that you can make. A baby can't have alcoholism. If you drink heavily during your pregnancy, it can have physical problems. My opinion shouldn't matter, but don't worry over things that haven't happened yet.
Babies don't have problems because of your "young age". They have problems, depending on what you do to that baby and what you feed it while you're pregnant.

Be patient and wait. As for it being hereditary, that's not the sole factor in it. There's also habits, and influence of their environment as well which can make a really big difference. It's also more prone in sons than daughters.

Do you have anyone else to talk to about this besides strangers on a dating site? You are stressing about things that may or may not happen sometime in the future rather than dealing with the things you can do right now for you and your baby. Do you have some type of health clinic or something where you can get information, prenatal vitamins, etc? Do some research if you have questions about genetic problems, but don't stress about things you can't change. I hope you have some family to help, and whether or not the baby's father wants to get involved make sure you get some financial support.

Be sure that you make, and keep prenatal appointments. Then follow what your doctors and nurses tell you. They will provide you with the care you and your baby need to be healthy during your pregnancy and delivery. Good luck and congradulations.

talk to your ob/gyn, get regular pre-natal care, read as many books about pregnancy as you can...take parenting classes!
talk to a lactation specialist, prepare early for back-up plans, childcare, etcetera...
learn, learn, learn. and follow your heart. and always be a good influence on your kid.
and don't drink alcohol at all while pregnant or nursing...they say now that even a small amount can cause fetal alcohol syndrome.
talk to responsible parents...ask questions...
feel free to email me if you have anything you'd like to discuss that you don't want public knowledge. i've had four kids and four miscarriages, i've kind of been there/done that.
