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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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

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.

Study for your exams, don't care about your dad, your future is more important than his, that's what I'd do.

Let him drink and drive nothing wrong with that

My parents make me drive them around in return of them having to drive me around when I was a kid

If he dies (let's hope that doesn't happen) you still won't have enough time to study.

If you can't find a way to resolve this, you should probably call the cops on him for drinking and driving. I know it sounds dumb, but it's for his own good. At least it'll keep him off the road for a while.

Tell him the exams are more important and hide the keys. Then lock yourself in your room and study away. Good luck OP

You take care of yourself, OP. Your dad is an adult. If he makes the choice to drive drunk, that choice and its consequences are on him.

If he is that much of a drunkard you should either get him help, or call the cops on him (if you know where his drinking hole is). You shouldn't sacrifice your school for his addiction to alcohol. Tell him to go out and buy some beer to drink at home. If it is socialization he is looking for, tell him to invite friend to a byob get together.
