False.

An "alcoholic family situation" does not necessarily require the alcoholic to be actively engaged in drinking. The term refers to the family dynamics and environment that have been affected by the presence of alcoholism, either currently or in the past. Even if the alcoholic is in recovery or no longer living with the family, the family members may still be impacted by the patterns of behavior and emotional issues that developed during the period of active alcoholism.
