I'm fortunate to not have parents that are alcoholics. However, my father is the product of two alcoholics, and I think that affected how he treated my brother and I because of what he saw as a child. My husband is also the product of alcoholics, and it's been a battle at times with us, with me almost walking out, before he realized he needed help. At least he hasn't driven drunk in the 4 years we've been together, since I would stay sober.

But back to UC...basically, you're going to have to decide if your free ride through school is more important than your father's, or another humans, life. You talk to him about his alcoholism, he can get upset and cut you off, or take your advice and maybe get help. He gets another DUI, it's going to cost money, which means less money for you based on the court costs and fines. He kills another person, your family will be sued and devastated forever. He kills himself, well, maybe you'll end up with some more money for school, but you won't have a dad. It sounds corny, but that's what is comes down to. My brother lost a friend due to a drunk driver, and at the age of 20 was a pallbearer. I would never wish that on anyone in their life.
