Does anyone know if there's any correlation or reasonable cause/effect link between being brought up by alcoholic parents and having social anxiety?

I don't have any hard facts but my father was one.

Well atleast I'm not alone in having both. I was just wondering as I've been reading up a bit on alcoholic parents and ways in which it can stunt the development of their children. I may be alone in this but my parents alcoholism seems to have affected me hugely.
