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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I've been staying with my parents while I have time off from school. They got drunk and started an entire family fight because my dad made pizza and my mom is lactose intolerant. She insists my dad did it on purpose because, "he's an asshole and knows I can't eat cheese." FML
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, my parents finally realized that I've been sneaking vodka when they weren't home. Note to self: don't let them freeze vodka that's actually 75% water. FML
Today, my parents said they know I don't do drugs or drink because I have no friends to do drugs or drink with. They are right. 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 mum got upset with me for having 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, a really drunk couple staggered into the store I work at. One of them yelled at me, "Hey you! Kid! Tell us where the booze is at!" This would have been funny if these people weren't my parents. FML
Today, my drunken mother told me I'm just like my father and that I don't give a fuck about her. She's living in my home and drinking my wine. FML
Today, I found out I will always come in second to my new husband's alcoholic parents. FML

Drinking doesn't make who a person is, it can only emphasis who they are.

Awww I'm sorry. Actually they need awhile to detox from the alcohol so this wasn't a true assessment but possible. If you're under 18 you can call the authorities or otherwise move out and find a lovely companion. I can relate to this. I never really had a father figure around and my mother was controlling and distant. Good luck. Stay strong.

Everyone is assuming that the parents are alcoholics and drink to excess but for all we know they have one or two drinks with dinner but are just jerks. OP already said that the booze appears not to affect their behavior much after all, and also never said they went crazy when the booze wasn't there. It sounds like they were the same with or without.

I'm guessing the low of booze after you took it away just made them worse.

Or maybe it's just because you took their booze

It could be the withdrawals. Making an alcoholic quit will make them cranky, same is true of people quitting smoking, caffeine, or ANY addiction. They will be assholes.

Never "verify". If there is one thing I've learned, it's parents who are assholes are just parents who are assholes. No explanation necessary.
