Moderate Alcohol Use

I asked a question similar before, but i just want to try again.

My dad drinks, not excessively, but steadily every day. When i come home there is a glass of whiskey in his hand, i don’t know what he is drinking in the day. he doesn’t seem drunk, but he is getting more and more forgetful, and says stupid things which don’t make sense alot of the time. I feel a distance growing between us, he doesn’t see what he is doing as wrong, as he links people with drinks problems to those who are paralytic and falling over in the street.

I worked out he regularly exceeds 7 units in a day.

I’ve pointed this out to him before, and he changed for like a month, and now its creeping back. I hate telling my dad to stop it beause i love him and don’t want to upset him, but i want him to live! Why can’t i get through to him?

If i show some hard and fast facts that he cannot dispute this may help. So i was hoping you knew about some sites that had some ifo on drinkers like my dad, who drink often but not to excess.

With drinking it can effect everyones body differently. In some cases it causes messages to the brain to be jumbled up, in others it can cause damage to the liver. I think your dad may be suffering from the messages to his brain ebing jumbled up. A simple and easy way to stop this would be to just tell him to stop drinking.
The website at the bottom has a list of what can happen with only moderate drinking.
