Today, at dinner, I accidentally let it slip that I'd taken a small sip of alcohol a few years ago and hated it. My extremely strict parents are now trying to get me into rehab. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my parents staged a family intervention and gave me the grandest bollocking I've ever experienced in all my 22 years of life. They did this because my sister showed them a photo of me jokingly posing with three bottles of Bud Light at a party. Apparently, I'm an alcoholic in denial. FML
Today, I helped myself to a small glass of cocktail from the fridge, not realising it was alcoholic. I told my mom what happened. She made me drink salty water until I vomited so I wouldn't get "alcohol poisoning". I'm 19. FML
Today, while talking to my parents, I dropped an ordinary drinking glass. After I apologized and cleaned the mess, they told me that they had decided that if I couldn't be careful at home, I certainly couldn't be careful on the roads. They took away my keys. I'm 19. FML
Today, I was eating out at a restaurant with my family. My dad had drained most of our bottle of wine, so thinking he'd be a little less uptight than usual, I reached over to pour myself some. He swatted my hand away and started yelling at me for being a "degenerate drunk". FML
Today, I told my dad that I have a very serious drinking problem and that I need to go to rehab because I can't stop on my own. He told me that I just need to make new friends and suggested I join a sorority. FML
Today, I got drunk at a party. I didn't want my parents to know, so I took out my phone, called my parents, and asked them not to tell them I'm drunk. FML
Today, my mum got upset with me for having my first hangover ever after being of legal drinking age for over 6 years. She is a closet alcoholic in denial who hides red wine bottles around the house. FML
Today, my parents yelled at me for coming home drunk from a party last night. They said I couldn't hang out with my best friend anymore as he's a "bad influence". He was the only one sober in our group and drove me home safely. FML
Today, my once-alcoholic mom told me that she would sell me for a shot of vodka. FML
Today, I hid my parents' booze since I'd always thought their shitty behavior was due to drinking too much. Turns out they're just assholes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You need to take control of your life, get out of the house, go to parties with friends, have a drink or 5! Smoke some dope! These are your adolescent years, they probs the best in your life, dont let your loser parents take them away from you!!

Only adolescents think the adolescent years are the best of your life. NOT TRUE.

I think the best years are from the day you're born to the day you die. Now isn't that poetic.

I think the best days are the days not spent wasted (they call it that for a reason) to the point you do stupid shit you don't remember, feel like shit, and get sick as hell.

Nobody will listen to a unicorn. And haven't you seen the hangover.

speak for yourself. My teen years were awesome.

I just turned eighteen, and my adolescent years might have been irresponsibly fantastic, but I sure as hell hope that they weren't the height of my life. It would suck to think that I'm not even 20 yet and it's all downhill from now.... I'm counting on college, if anything, and early 20's being the height of my life. Still, I assume that you're saying that OP is young and therefore should not be afraid to experiment, and in that aspect, I very much agree.

So here's what I suggest you do. Go to the store and purchase some handlebars, return home and throw them at them, yelling "GET A GRIP". Perhaps then they might get a little perspective. Or very angry.

I like the use of a prop to drive the point home. Very outside the proverbial box.

"Small sip of alcohol a few years ago and hated it" really means "I am a frequent binge drinker and often wake up in strange men's beds." Your parents could spot obvious denial as soon as we all could. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

why do you need rehab if you only drank once and a sip at that...
Ashle1gh 14
You should try getting them put in a mental institution.

Shocking! A small sip!? How did you hide that from them for so long? Well it's good they are they are there trying to help you in case you take another small sip at some point and become a raging alcaholic! Joking, your parents are blowing this way out of proportion.
Susieee_Q 9
Yeah, I feel like is she actually goes to rehab, they're just going to be like, "No. You're fine. Go home."
