Glad you're still around...was starting to worry when you weren't posting. It's been too quiet around here. I don't know what to tell you about your dad. My dad was a major alcoholic too he didn't change until the doctor told him he had pre-diabetes, then he switched from tequila shots to beer which at least takes longer to get drunk on. Anyway I don't know that you can change him it's one of those things you have to change for yourself. Maybe you can goto a group like Al-anon that supports family I think there is maybe even an adult children of alcoholics on this forum but I'm not 100% on that. They might have some better ideas to help your dad or even yourself in coping with it.
