The only advice I can give you is to talk to your parents. I know you don't want to, but It's the best thing you can do. The only one you can stop your father from drinking is your father. If you're uncomfortable talking to them about it directly, write them a letter or email, they'll understand. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
