sigh… have you tried to have a heart to heart talk with your Dad about it, not during those ‘on the spot’ times when he’s being invited to drink and you’re angry, but those times when both of you are enjoying a good conversation. My Mom and I use this “tactic” when there’s something important we’d like to talk about to my Dad. Usually, during meal time when the mood is light and Dad is happily eating (hehe), we would then “insert” the topic. Anyway, that’s just my two cents. God bless you for taking good care of your Dad and being responsible for his needs. I’ll be praying for you. Just keep the faith.

It is hard when someone you love has a problem with alcohol. You have to establish limits for what you can put up with and hold him accountable for his actions. If he is suddenly drinking a lot, are their other reasons such as depression causing the drinking? beekers last blog post..The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

My father-in-law drank almost everyday of his life when he retired from work. He got pancreatic cancer and we would visit him on Nov.1. Before, my mther-in-law tolerated his drinking because she was thinking that he was just depressed being laid off from work or having no job. His brothers were the ones who also got him into it.
Since your Dad is listening to you, then it is okay to be strict and be firm about it. Continue to show your love… that you are just concern about his health…and you would like to be with him for a longer time…and you would not want to lose him to that bottle of alcohol…

Take care!
