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, I helped myself to a small glass of cocktail from the fridge, not realising it was alcoholic. I told my mom what happened. She made me drink salty water until I vomited so I wouldn't get "alcohol poisoning". I'm 19. FML

Today, while talking to my parents, I dropped an ordinary drinking glass. After I apologized and cleaned the mess, they told me that they had decided that if I couldn't be careful at home, I certainly couldn't be careful on the roads. They took away my keys. I'm 19. FML

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

Today, I told my dad that I have a very serious drinking problem and that I need to go to rehab because I can't stop on my own. He told me that I just need to make new friends and suggested I join a sorority. FML

Today, I got drunk at a party. I didn't want my parents to know, so I took out my phone, called my parents, and asked them not to tell them I'm drunk. FML

Today, my mum got upset with me for getting 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 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 once-alcoholic mom told me that she would sell me for a shot of vodka. FML

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

You said you didn't like it and they still want to put you in rehab. Idiots!

If you hated it then why would they think you needed rehab do you usually continue to do things you hate? Wondering cause them just being strict couldn't possibly be the whole reason.

Hopefully they don't succeed. My parents have allowed me to try tiny sips of alcohol at various points in my childhood, to remind me how bad it tastes so I won't be inclined to try some on my own. It's probably not the best method, but I'm not much of a partier anyway, so it isn't really an issue. Sorry your parents are so strict and controlling; I wouldn't be able to stand a home environment like that. Good luck.

XD Yeah, it sounds pretty bad, doesn't it? I seem to have turned out okay, though. Honestly, I can't stand the taste of alcohol, but I still find it a bit sad that I won't even reach legal drinking age until AFTER I've graduated from college. Guess who'll be the designated driver for all her college friends? :)
