Are addictions hereditary? Am I more susceptible to certain addictions based off of whether or not my parents were addicted to a certain thing?

For example, if my parents were alcoholics would I be more susceptible to becoming one myself compared to someone else who's parents weren't alcoholics?

In general, yes, you are considered to be at a higher risk. Like any other hereditary trait though, there's a big dose of "it depends". 

Animal behavior is particularly susceptible to influence by environmental factors.
