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.

Or call the cops and stop enabling him , saving his life, and passing an exam.

Why not just take the keys?

Why does he need to drive?

Or you can take the keys away and study. Or a cab.....

How mechanically inclined are you and your dad op? If he doesnt know much about vehicles, next chance you get, look in the fuse boxes and search for one labeled "IGNITION" or "IGN". Depending on the vehicle, blowing (or pulling) that fuse will leave it dead. I taught my dad this trick when we were concerned someone we knew who had a copy of his keys was going to try to steal his truck. Disable the vehicle and go study by yourself at a park or something. Depending on how much of a prick OPs dad wants to be, he could probably claim the car was stolen and get OP arrested.

Definitely not the latter! Failed exams are better than a dead dad.

Your dad is more important than any exam you could take. Just explain to your professor and hopefully he'll understand.

That's not your responsibility to parent him OP. I'd say get his license yanked and if you see him going out, call the cops

drunk drivers without their licences still drive.

i would have to suggest that u let him do what he does but when he walks out the foor to drive drunk, either 1) call the police or 2) take the distributor cap off or remove a spark plug so the car doesnt start. easy choices boo. good luck!!

Bro, you need to confront him. If his drinking is getting in the way of your college life, something isn't right.
