my dad

[Lovehatelife23]

Well how do i put this,

I think there is something wrong with my dad. Everytime he comes home from work he Drinks alcohol. He doesnt get drunk but he does get sometimes Tipsey. but everytime i go to my bedroom he goes to his and drinks alcohol. He says that his doctor said 1 drink would calm his nerves down. But he drinks a glass of alcohol like 4 times a day. I asked him are you doing this to kill urself and he said no but i asked him that he keeps on saying that hes going to die in a couple of years when he turns 55 years old. I told him is that why ur drinkin so much alcohol and he tried to say no but he ended up Smurking. I think my dad is killin him self.

What should i do?

I think you need to tell an adult you trust about this as soon as you can, for your dad's sake. Tell a family member, a teacher, a policeman, or anyone who can help. Your dad could very well be planning something bad, and even if he's not, he should get help with his drinking.

There is no problem enjoying drinks every night, if it gets to the point where it interferes with other parts of life, then yes. Or if there is underlying health problems (i,e a bad liver already)


But the fact that your dad doesn't just seem to drink because he enjoys a drink (or four :P), then you should possibly talk to an adult (maybe his brother/sister if he has one) and see what they think.

If you believe theres actually a problem, tell someone. You alone won't be able to get him to stop drinking, as sad as it sounds its probably the truth. Tell someone close to him, and have them talk to him about it, if he hears it from more than one person, it may help him realize there may actually be a problem.


But you also may be over-reacting, ALOT of people drink daily and lead perfectly normal lives.

Im not over-reactin. he was smurkin about it. that tells u right there that he is doing it to kill himself. I told other people they just look at me and say ok. idk. nvm. But thanx for ur help.

There isn't anything wrong with him enjoying some drinks at the end of the day as long as he is fulfilling his obligations to his friends and family. Him smirking at something you said doesn't necessarily mean anything, and it certainly doesn't mean he's intentionally trying to kill himself. 4 beers a day isn't likely to do much harm to your father.

If he were trying to drink himself to death he'd have to be drinking himself way past the tipsy stage.
