Meaning
Hello friends,
Could you please confirm me if I am right on the meaning of following bold phrase?
“It’s not that, it’s—Jean Louise, dating a boy is one thing, but marrying him’s another. You must take all things into account. Henry’s background—”
“—is literally the same as mine. We grew up in each other’s pockets.”
“There’s a drinking streak in that family—”
“Aunty, there’s a drinking streak in every family.”
Alexandra’s back stiffened. “Not in the Finch family.”
My interpretation: bad reputation
Thank you

Well, it may give them a bad reputation, but what it actually says is that some members of the family drink too much alcohol.
