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

That just sucks op. Hope their behavior shows you how not to be when you're in their place.

Hurry and return their booze or else they'll become even more of assholes for parents.

So in what universe did you think hiding their booze, which you think is the cause of their behaviour because they use it too much, would even possibly make the situation better? Alcohol is an addictive substance and when it is the cause of something there has developed a dependency making them go cold turkey (could be a great intention but) would never improve things (in the short run)

I hate to inform you but alcohol does not change people and their behavior. It only enhances what is already there.

Ok, and how does that not constitute as a 'change'?

Because their behavior didn't particularly change, it just got worse.

Alcohol absolutely changes behavior, especially in alcoholics. Those who have gone through recovery commonly exhibit drastic changes to their behavior and attitude. Anything mind and mood altering does just that; alter you your thought process, mood and attitude. When you are an addict you do and think of everything through the eyes of an addict. Its much different than how you think and process the world when you are sober.

It probably comes from a life of bitter disappointment.

Wow, you'd think a little booze would make them a little nicer.
