Today, I was eating out at a restaurant with my family. My dad had drained most of our bottle of wine, so thinking he'd be a little less uptight than usual, I reached over to pour myself some. He swatted my hand away and started yelling at me for being a "degenerate drunk". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband tried to annoy me by slurping on his almost-finished drink. I yelled at him to knock it off. Later, our daughter told her class that mommy and daddy had been fighting about his drinking during breakfast. FML
Today, I took my boyfriend to a family dinner. It went well, until my dad got drunk and started telling everyone about how "midgets" are assholes and are ruining America. FML
Today, my dad came home drunk off his ass. So drunk that he couldn't manage to open the refrigerator, and ended up punching it in a fit of rage. When I tried to calm him down and get him to bed, he told me to fuck off, and grounded me. 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 dad got drunk at a party and flashed me and my friends. 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, my in-laws invited us over to dinner. I decided to help out in the kitchen and watched in horror as my mother-in-law licked every utensil, sucked her fingers while making the plates and slurped wine straight from the bottle. My husband said I was rude for refusing to eat. FML
Today, trying to impress my in-laws, I put a lot of effort into selecting a nice bottle of wine for dinner at their house. When I got there, I gave the bottle to my wife's mother. Later, my father-in-law emerges from the kitchen to berate his wife over her poor choice of wine. It was mine. FML
Today, my stupid drunk dad was yelling for food and since my mum needed to finish her taxes before midnight, I told him to STFU and passed him prawn fried rice, which he told me to shove up my ass. I threw it in the bin, since he's the only meat eater in the family. When she'd finished, she yelled at me instead of him. FML
Today, my father got drunk and became crazy. He just kept talking nonsense and swaying while walking. It seemed like he was going to vomit. I hate him being like this. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just out of curiosity, how old are you? No matter what, he's definitely a hypocrite. Sorry!

People saying 'what a hypocrite' or 'drink is obviously a problem in your family' are ridiculous and sanctimonius. The 'degenerate drunk' comment it over the top but not hypocritical, kids who drink underage are more likely to get in trouble than an adult. The OP might say he 'drained' the bottle, but he's (by the sounds of it) a sulky teenager who is sour that his dad won't let him drink underage in public. So he wants to pretend the father is some kind of hypocrite for refusing his kid son an illegal drink, while himself legally drinking a reasonable amount of wine over the course of a few hours and a big meal to prevent bad intoxication A bottle of wine holds 3 or 4 glasses, hardly a lot to drink with a big meal that probably took a couple of hours to order and eat.

Maybe you should ask and say please instead of pouring yourself some...?

well how old are you? if you are under age, he has the right to refuse you alcohol. besides, a few glasses of wine while eating doesnt make the dad drunk, necessairly. the comment might have been a bit much, but if you are under age than whats the problem with him refusing you a drink?

Legal age to drink in public in England is 16, regardless of adult supervision. Legal age to drink at home is 5. No joking.

Ask him to watch himself drink wine in the mirror, and then re-think who the "degenerate drunk" is

A bottle of wine for many is not that much to drink. From the sounds of this FML post, the OP is under age. Why else would they need to wait till dad had, had a few and was "less uptight"? OP got caught doing something they knew was wrong. Chances are they should just shut up and stop being a whiny brat over it. Try just waiting till you are of age to drink or you know....Not drinking with your father and doing so with friends. I have to go with YDI on this.

OP is in the UK, legal drinking age in the UK is generally 18 years old (in Great Britain), and most other countries in Europe do allow drinking in the home

Even so, it sounds like OP was still under the age that UK allows or that the parent is okay with.

Should have punched him in the face, called him out as the alcoholic he his, and walked out. Damn, you people are *******!

Can I just clarify, even tho the legal age at home is 5 in England, I have NEVER heard of, seen, or read about 5 year olds drinking. People don't let their 5 year olds drink just because its legal! In 26 states in America, its legal to have sex with a horse. But has anybody seen people ******* horses? No. Just cause its legal doesn't mean people do it!

My grandfather used to give us all a small glass of champagne for new years, even when we were that young. Only once a year wouldn't be that bad, would it?
