When they are not drinking ( because they might attempt to harm you ) ask them politely to stop.
Any normal parent would say yes.
Now if you see them drinking still, take away the alcohol.
If you see them going away a lot, it's time for desperate measures,
Take your car and leave it somewhere where your parent cannot find
it, then wait a year, now finally, your parent should have stopped drinking.
PS: Only use on the parent that doesn't have a job.

Can alcoholism in a parent give the child more of a chance to start drinking?
Yes and no. There is a genetic component to alcoholism that can be inherited by offspring. However, neither the parent nor the child will become an alcoholic if they never drink, and there is no certainty that the child will be more prone to alcoholism if they have an alcoholic parent -- although overall the odds are about 1 in 4. That said, parental example and conditions during upbringing may well influence a child of an alcoholic to drink. Being raised by an alcoholic parent guarantees that a child will have problematic emotional development, and many choose to ameliorate the symptoms in the same way the parent did. Others may become lifelong teetotalers, but if they eventually do drink have the same odds as any other child from an alcoholic family.

Is there something genetic about drinking?
Science is non-conclusive on the topic. We have seen many patterns in families in which alcoholics are prevalent. However, it is not guarantee that someone with an alcoholic parent will be an alcoholic.
Do you have more of a chance of becoming an alcoholic since you have an alcoholic parent?
It has nothing to do with genes or anything, if that's what you're wondering. However, you may be more prone to being one, as someone you normally idolize is an alcoholic and you see it more often - it's normal and doesn't seem wrong in any way. So, if you start drinking, you may not see anything wrong with it, since your parent had been an alcoholic and it was part of your normal life.
What is self preservation after when being raised by an alcoholic parent who has now passed away and left you with negative behaviors?

What kinds of things can you do to offer help and support to an alcoholic parent without becoming an enabler?
You need to find your closest Al-anon or Al-ateen group in your area. They are free and will give you the guidance and support you need. They have "been there, done that." They have been very helpful to families in getting the help that they need. If your non-alcoholic parent is agreeable, they should get involved too. I hope that this helps. You will be in my prayers. Also look for SMART and another worthwhile technique is MICBT both deal with addiction management.
