Could physical attributes be genetically-linked to heritable health issues?

Asked by fluthernutter (6328points) September 8th, 2014 from iPhone

If my kid looks like Uncle Bob, are they more likely to inherit Uncle Bob’s alcoholism (than their siblings that don’t look like Uncle Bob)?

Or is it a total crap shoot?
