Today, I have to make a decision. I either drive my dad around during the day so he can drink, or I let him drink and drive so I can focus on studying for my exams. FML

Buy some booze, stay at home and have a drunken study session with the old man!

Sounds like you need to consult somebody you trust, OP. This is serious.

Or call the cops and stop enabling him , saving his life, and passing an exam.

Or you can take the keys away and study. Or a cab.....

How mechanically inclined are you and your dad op? If he doesnt know much about vehicles, next chance you get, look in the fuse boxes and search for one labeled "IGNITION" or "IGN". Depending on the vehicle, blowing (or pulling) that fuse will leave it dead. I taught my dad this trick when we were concerned someone we knew who had a copy of his keys was going to try to steal his truck. Disable the vehicle and go study by yourself at a park or something. Depending on how much of a prick OPs dad wants to be, he could probably claim the car was stolen and get OP arrested.

Definitely not the latter! Failed exams are better than a dead dad.

Your dad is more important than any exam you could take. Just explain to your professor and hopefully he'll understand.

That's not your responsibility to parent him OP. I'd say get his license yanked and if you see him going out, call the cops

drunk drivers without their licences still drive.

i would have to suggest that u let him do what he does but when he walks out the foor to drive drunk, either 1) call the police or 2) take the distributor cap off or remove a spark plug so the car doesnt start. easy choices boo. good luck!!

Bro, you need to confront him. If his drinking is getting in the way of your college life, something isn't right.
