Today, my dad asked me to lend him some money to buy his medication, since he's all but broke right now. He returned with nothing but a bottle of tequila. FML

I think it's time to cut your dad off.

If he's all BUT broke, why did you give him money since he has plenty?

If he has the DT's, aka "the shakes", tequila is the right medication until you can haul his alcoholic ass into detox.

Yeah, that's a good prescription but Jack Daniels is much a much better medicine.

Medication and self-medicating belong in two different categories.

Next time, OP, go with your dad to help him get his meds so he doesn't buy booze with it instead.

He probably used air quotes when he said "medication"

Maybe he is self medicating his alcoholism.

Is he an alcoholic who deems liquor as "medicine"?...maybe he needs an intervention & inpatient rehab from the sound of it...either way, I'd tell him "no more of grandpa's cough syrup for you"
