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

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 getting 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

How old are you? If you're 13, I kinda understand their reaction, although I disagree. However, if you're an adult, yeah, they're out of line. Is religion motivating this?

You think that a thirteen year old should be allowed to drink. Is alcohol motivating this?

religious people ARE allowed to drink, after all, Jesus did turn water into wine

177 - that's true, but the Bible states that getting drunk is a sun because the body is a temple, and not taking care of that 'temple', so to speak, is a sin.

172, a thirteen year old TASTING alcohol is not the end of the world. It's actually pretty okay. Taking one sip is not the same as actually drinking.

Don't know why religious people are so against alcohol. Wedding at Cana, anyone?

The day I turned thirteen my dad decided all teenage girls are ***** and I was no longer aloud to see men outside of school and the family :) I know how you feel having crazy parents it sucks but over time they will hopefully come to their senses like my father
