Seems like a pretty straightforward take on the idea of genetic predisposition.

I guess it's fun to try to twist it into some sort of slam on him, though.

exactly, he could have said anything and it turns out he's wacked out

The whole "disease" concept of alcoholism is based upon extensive drinking over years until your cells malform and adapt to a constant craving for the liquor as if that is where the nutrients come from. The original choice to drink, however, is just a simple uncoerced act or choice. Sounds like Perry is trying to give the benefit of doubt that there is an original genetic disposition.
