hi brennan! there's another forum that may help you too...adult children of alcoholics. split image had a good suggestion...there is a free group called alateen that you might want to check out. it's for ppl your age that deal with alcoholism in their family/life. also al-anon. both are great support groups. you need to feel comfortable talking with ppl irl who deal with the probs as you. plus, we are always here for you too.
you can't change your parent's drinking prob unfortunately. but you do not have to feel alone. i am sorry you are having to live in that environment. it is not easy. but you are right, your drinking too would only add to the problem. wise of you to understand that.
