By fuck you, dad - 27/09/2012 18:36 - United Kingdom - Brighton

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

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

People might judge if they see you drinking in public and you're underage..

OP is in the UK. Isn't the drinking age like 14? I imagine he's just a hypocrite; it's not an age issue.

Err it's definitely 18.. I think there are certain rules about having one glass of something with a full meal at 16, but only if the restaurant allows it. I get ******* ID'd all the time!

#13- you are thinking of France or Spain who have 16 as the legal drinking age but are a lot more relaxed on the drinking age. You can buy alcohol Without getting ID'd at most ages

Maybe OP really does have a drinking problem and thought he could sneak some while dad was tipsy

I have a strong feeling OP is underage or else dad wouldn't have reacted that way. You tried to slip one by, and you got caught. Maybe you've learned something.

By the user name, I'm thinking he missed the message. Also, why he thought trying to sneak a drink from his disapproving dad in a restaurant was a good idea eludes me.

I would have then made it my mission to chug all the wine. And then I would've thrown the bottle at him and told him to think fast.

Yes cause chucking liquor bottles at your drunk angry dad always turns out well....

I think your dad is projecting his own degenerate ways unto you.

Sorry . I meant projecting his own self hatred, of his degenerate ways.

You deserve this one. From the way you say you thought he'd be less uptight and let you have a drink, leads me to believe you are under age. So, you shouldn't be drinking in a public restaurant. Secondly, if your father is under the influence, you can never know for sure how he will react.

He's obviously caught you drinking before, and from the tone of his reply, doing things you shouldn't be proud of.
