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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

I had a sip of alcohol when I was little and hated it, im now old enough to drink and I haven't had any since I had that sip years ago

Try a Raspberry Margarita Mike's. You'll never think of alcohol the same way again. I hate beer but could live on that stuff.

Alcoholic drinks vary in taste so enormously, you can't get any idea on whether you like alcohol based on one sip of one drink!

Alcohol is considered a drug because it changes the way your body and mind functions. Not because it's addictive.

Awesome! But that was completely random. Unless the comments are messing up, or my phone.

Lmfao!! This sucks to hear about strict parents like that! My mom lets me have my freedom and I think that was a good choice so I didn't rebel and take a sip of an alcohol (; Hahahhaa. #21.. Btw, In school I learned that alcohol is considered a drug because it can be addicting. So the nickname makes sense to me... (Although it doesn't seem or sound right).

It is addictive. Look at all of the functional (or not so functional) alcoholics.

It's this kind of parenting that pushes kids away, giving them this desire to rebel. It's such a shame /:
