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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 mom and I staged an intervention for my alcoholic dad. Within minutes he'd turned everything around on us, claiming we're in no position to judge him for drinking since we use "too much water" when we shower. Apparently that's on the same level as being an abusive alcoholic. FML
Today, I found out that my sister's kids refer to me as their 'Drunkle'. I guess I have to admit to myself that I'm an alcoholic. FML
Today, on my 30th birthday, my mom, aunt, and sister staged an intervention instead of throwing a party. Apparently I’m “ruining my life” by being 300lbs and being "single for 5 years" and I need to “get my act together.” They treated me like I’m some sort of criminal and reduced me to tears. FML
Today, my parents tried to stage an intervention for me. Drugs? No. Alcohol? Nope. Gambling? Nah ah. They wanted to intervene on behalf of my soul since I decided I no longer believe in their religion. I had to threaten to call the cops when the escalated to attempt a forced exorcism on me. FML
Today, my mom took me to an AA meeting because she said I needed help. I have never tried alcohol in my life, and told them this. I was then harangued by the "instructor" because apparently one of the signs of alcoholism is denial. FML
Today, my friends staged an intervention. I'm not on drugs, I'm not an alcoholic, and I own my own house. My car is paid for and my job pays well. Apparently, I need an intervention because my life is not where they want it to be, which involves me being married with children. FML
Today, my ten year-old son realized something. Beer is alcohol. People who drink a lot of alcohol are alcoholics. Therefore, I'm an alcoholic for drinking beer with dinner. He told everyone at his conservative private school and they tried to have an intervention. They pray for me every day. 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, my mother woke me up by putting a beer on my face. After 15 minutes of her telling me to "just take a sip" and me rejecting it, I finally did just to shut her up. She then yelled at me for giving in to "peer pressure". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If only you posed with 6 beers on your belly. You could have argued that you wanted to create a six pack.

What bitches u got for a family

We don't have the term "bollocking" in the states. I thought bollox were slang for testes. The idea of bollocking from parents gives me a distasteful image.
starquality 7
It's cool. My parents did that to me too...
riceicle1 6
Yeah Bollocks is slang for testes but is mostly used in bad situations instead of swear words, and bollocking means being told of or yelled at.
LiveLaughFML 10
it's okay, OP. admitting you have a problem is the first step toward recovery. us FMLers are not here to judge you.
EvilPotato 15
How dare you pose with 3 beer bottles your family is right you've got a big problem you naughty boy.
KronikSplakkn 4
Well at least it wasn't three bottles of Seagrams Wine Coolers. They would have given you a lecture about accepting your sexuality .

YDI for risking taking a picture like that having that kind of parents! I can tell you from personal experience because I have parents like that too that you have to make sure they dont know what goes on with your life... Im pretty sure that when I say Im going to a party the picture a cake and a piñata

Eh, I would sit there in the intervention, nodding my head pretending to be paying attention. All while, I'm really plotting revenge against the sister. Or, just flip your family off and walk away.

89- OP is 22.. He's legally an adult. You shouldn't be afraid to drink just because of your parents, let alone take a picture with alcohol. That he's legally allowed to drink. :o

False_Stupidity 42
What has the number of comments a person posted got to do with the number they have seen?
dennis96411 12
How can one be sarcastic if the comment does not relate to the FML?

141- seeing as you don't know me or how many stupid comments I have seen, I don't think you're qualified to make that assumption

That's what you get for having a good time apparently. FYL, buddy.

The first step to the cure is acceptance of your problem
xSynergY 8
You'll probably become an alcoholic after that situation. Beat of luck buddy!

99 beers on the wall!

Ikr. Just for 3 bottles of bud light?
Petunia888 13
Always consider who your audience may be before posing for a pic.
phoenixslayer69 4
And your audience is?
NinaTatianna 9
Uhh, no. what he needs to do is print out some articles for his parents or make them watch a movie that shows what a party is like. Thats a big accusation for being in a picture with beer.... your parents seem really naive...
gleeklove 2
Look who's talking...
ImFrackinBored 13
your audience is the whole damn internet...
Petunia888 13
178: That's exactly why OP should have thought twice before posing for the pic. I guess I'm the only one that does that.

Three bottles = alcoholic? Haha, okay.

If 3 bottles makes you an alcoholic then I'm a freakin Irishman.
luccmon 6
Not fair! You could have been an Irishman from the beginning. Then what becomes of the statistics???

If only you posed with 6 beers on your belly. You could have argued that you wanted to create a six pack.
NEEPLES 7
Why would you want a six pack if you could have the whole keg?
bizarre_ftw 22
Why do you care about a keg? You own the whole Brewery in family guy!

That guy.
Livencountry 5
If three means alcoholic, this guy is.. I don't even know what. (picture reference)
nivek2120 8
12 jäger bombs.. Ha That's not alcoholism that's fun!
Livencountry 5
Yeah but it's more then 3 beers. By... A lot. I think. I don't really know.
nivek2120 8
... Let me break this down nice and slow.... Yes that is way more than three beers.. No its wasn't just for me in fact it was for eleven others. When you become a grown up you'll understand.
Livencountry 5
Can't handle more then one shot of jägermeister in a glass of Red-Bull? I was joking about not knowing if it was more then three Bud light earlier, if you don't know.
False_Stupidity 42
I'd call that guy, a bar tender?
nivek2120 8
Yea I have to agree.

Seriously? I would hate to have your parents.. Just saying
