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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

My father is an alcoholic. He's gotten two DUI's, both crashes, one he was injured in. And he still drinks. It's really not a pretty thing. It changes a person. But you still wouldn't know it to look at him. Try to get him some help while you still can.

You can make a cardboard car, hide the keys to the real car. And when he's drunk he can a real fun time with that cardboard car

Let him drink and drive, and call the cops giving the number plate of his car. Let the cops teach him a lesson. And then don't bail him out - you need the time to study in peace.

1. Don't driver him. 2. Hide his car keys

Either let him go and call the cops and inform them of his plate so he gets busted as someone else suggested, or drive him to AA (or equivalent), drop him off and leave.

I suppose that telling him to stop drinking is not even conceivable, isn't it?

Its His responsibility and youre not his dad. Dont let him reverse roles here. And best to keep him safe would probably be to call the cops on him when hes driving under influence.

Let him get drunk at home first and lock him in a room until he passes out. Problem solved - later he should definetly get some help

Shop him and don't give it a second thought. You get a good education to leave the loser behind, no one gets hurt from his drink driving, and he might even sort himself out as a result. Don't enable the pathetic excuse of a man.

Call the cops on him.
