Bottom line: you can't. It's not your decision to make. You can encourage him to go to rehab or join a program like Alcoholics Anonymous, but ultimately you can't force him to do it if he doesn't want to.
This is one of the hardest things for friends and relatives of alcoholics to face: the fact that it's not your fault, and there isn't realistically a whole lot you can do about it.
You might check into some support programs such as Alanon and Alateen that can help you deal with the issues of being the dependent of an alcoholic.
You ask him to stop
Chapter 26: "Do you think you can maybe stop drinking?" Dad says nothing at first and then finally remarks, "You must be awfully ashamed of your old man."
Drinking alcohol in moderation reduces stress. However, abusing alcohol can make life harder. My dad drinks half of a bottle of vodka and whenever there's no vodka to be drunk, he becomes very distressed.
Unfortunately, for your dad to stop drinking he has to admit he is an alcoholic and seek help from Alcoholics Anonymous and you could attend Al-anon which will help you deal with your father's alcoholism. It is extremely difficult to get an alcoholic to admit they are one and unfortunately the family suffers because of it. You are a great son or daughter to want to help your father out and try to understand that under all that drinking your father still loves you, but some people are more prone (sometimes genetic and runs in families) and it is extremely difficult for them to stop drinking. It is possible, but it is up to your dad to want to quit.
you should tell you father that you don't like the way he is drinking. But if he does not listen then you should take to your teacher or the police station. It is not like they are going to take you father to jail, they will just talk to your father and tell him to stop drinking, and start training him.
Here's what you do: Stop bein' a panzy, and shove your @ss in his face, and make him go @ss to mouth with you. If he's too busy pulling butt hair from his teeth, he won't be able to drink, or hit your scrawny @ss.
Make sure hes not drinking too much soda.
His dad can make things feel tired, so that they stop wanting to do things, its like he puts them in a trance.
you tell your boyfriends dad that he cant stop love or make your boyfriends dad like you.i knoww how it feels
It was drinking heavily.
The best thing you could do would be to call the police and tell them when he leaves the house, along with a description of the car and the tag number. If he gets caught, the court may be able to insure that he gets some help for his drinking. If you cannot do that, at least stay out of the car when he is driving under the influence.
Your dad is a bigot and a homophobe. You can't control him, but you can know that he is wrong, and strive to be a better person than he is.
