Today, I have to make a decision. I either drive my dad around during the day so he can drink, or I let him drink and drive so I can focus on studying for my exams. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, like every day since my diagnosis, I've had to choose between two impossible options. Either I deal with debilitating headaches where I cannot focus, or I feel so drowsy that I cannot focus. My finals are in a week and I can't study. FML
Today, I had to pick up my dad because he was too drunk to drive home. Drive his wheelchair home, that is. FML
Today, my father yelled at me for changing one of his two programmable seat positions in his car because he uses both. Apparently, #1 is for sober driving and #2 is for high/drunk driving. Go dad. FML
Today, my dad wants a divorce. I can either stay with my wine-loving mom or move 300 km away with my dad. FML
Today, I was so bad at maintaining a conversation that the only way for the other guy to put up with me was to drink. He was the designated driver. He would rather risk drinking and driving than being sober around me. FML
Today, I had to leave my ACT prep class ten minutes in to pick up my drunken father from his best friend's baby shower. I picked him up along with a bill for the damage. FML
Today, I got fired. By my father. He wants me to drive him to work tomorrow. FML
Today, my dad decided to have a little father and daughter bonding time. Unfortunately, his idea of bonding involves him sitting around at home, getting piss drunk, and falling asleep. FML
Today, I decided to visit my dad. I haven't seen him in a while so I wanted to give him another chance to be an actual dad to me. Apparently, getting drunk and getting it on with his girlfriend while I was there was more important than spending time with his daughter, who he hasn't seen in almost a year. FML
Today, I volunteered to be my brother's designated driver. I told him throughout the night that I wasn't drinking, but he ended up leaving me at the bar and going to his friend's house in a cab for more drinks, taking my keys along with him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Buy some booze, stay at home and have a drunken study session with the old man!

Sounds like you need to consult somebody you trust, OP. This is serious.

let him drink and hide his keys

Or let him drink and drive? That would be the cool thing to do

Or: option 3: Call the cops, let them know he is drinking and driving and let him deal with some actual consequences. Seriously! I get wanting to protect your family but unless you plan on spending the rest of your life being his personal taxi, he will drink and drive. If you think he is staying home and sober when you aren't around you are deluding yourself. Enabling him only guarantees that it will get far far worse before it gets better. You should be thinking about only two things right now. 1: Do you want him deal with a drunk driving charge now? Or 2: Do you want to keep enabling him until one day he gets into an accident and possibly kills someone meaning a drunk driving charge and other more serious charges.

let him take the keys. watch him get in the car and take off. then call police telling them that an extremely intoxicated person just got in a vehicle. give him your dad's license plates and model

**** that. Take his keys until he stops being a dumbfuck.

Give him some horse tranquilizer.

Or you take the keys and he can stay home or walk to the pub/ bar

not a good situation but letting him drink n drive isn't really an option in my opinion...
