You right, but you can greatly decrease your chances by drinking the necessary amount of water though. Not liquids like soda, juice, lean, champagne like some people stay steady consuming and then wonder why they getting tazed inside of their urethra after purposefully avoiding water for so long.
Being a grown man drinking sodas all day everyday and no water like a kindergartener is wild work 
Yeah, ironically drinking too much water can cause more stones if you live in the Kidney Stone Belt in the U.S.
There's a LOT of different factors at play.
Blaming everything on genetics can feel comforting because it shifts responsibility away from us, but it’s often just a sophisticated excuse. While genetics absolutely influence traits like metabolism, intelligence, temperament, and even risk for certain diseases, they don’t operate in isolation — environment, lifestyle, habits, and choices play massive roles in outcomes. By leaning too heavily on “it’s just how I’m wired,” a person can avoid the uncomfortable work of change, whether that’s improving health, building skills, or breaking toxic patterns.
Accountability requires acknowledging both the cards you were dealt and how you choose to play them. Genetics might load the gun, but your daily actions pull the trigger or keep the safety on. When someone blames genetics for everything, they’re effectively saying, “I have no control,” which is rarely the full truth. It removes personal agency and creates a self-fulfilling prophecy where they stop trying — making failure inevitable. In reality, many people have beaten genetic odds through consistent effort, discipline, and adaptability, proving that while you can’t change your DNA, you can change your trajectory.
