My old mans an alcoholic

[Ennui]

My old man drinks everyday, thinks of nothing else but getting his daily intake of booze.
He is spending Xmas with us, and got hammered tonight, as he did last night and will do tomorrow.
He sits boozing it up; on the edge of the seat clinging to his painfully bloated gut getting pissed.

You guys are the voice of youth. Any suggestions?

Let it slide or try to address it?

Address it.

Ship him off to rehab.

Seriously, he will be better off in the end and so will you and your family.

Sarcasm Detector works just fine, for instance I can tell OvA was being sarcastic even without a wink. It's just throwing out a sentence like "I'm not kidding" contradicts it, so that people get the wrong idea.

Just a bit of friendly advice is all, chillax man.

I'm serious. Do you want to die today?

B: is it pick on Vegeta day? Week? Month? Do I even need to ask...

Let's all bother Veggenumbers.

Sorry veggienumbers, you're the designated scapegoat for 2006. Site problems? It was Vegeta. Toaster not working? Vegeta again. Lack of peace and harmony in the world? That's right - Vegeta.

Say you are going to commit suicide unless he stops drinking, because it is putting you in a serious depression. I'm not kidding either.

Note: This may cause more problems, but It's worth a shot

Bad idea, he'll probally just get sent to a treatment facility for making a threat like that.

Is he the 'get angry and make everyone miserable' alcoholic?

Or is he the 'destroying my liver but not being really too much of a pain for everyone else in the process' kind?

He's the latter.

Despite everybody’s opinions I am going to let this one slide. I have received excellent counselling from various other sources.

There is a point whereby habits are so ingrained they are virtually impossible to break, alcoholism is one such habit.

He's an old boy drinking himself into an early grave and has been doing so for years, I will never change this, so I am going to let it slide.

Tolerate maybe, accept and approve,never.

Change? I don't think so.
