Today, when I was having class, I got a message from my mother.My mother hardly sent any short notes to me, as she said it's difficult for her to press the right button to write a sentense to me.So everytime, her message is to tell me something important. she said"your father recently went out to drink, especially last night and the day before yesterday, he drunk with the person who had teeth cancer problem.You should try to persuade your father not to do it ." I know my mother is worried about my father's health, and she thinks that parent usually would like to accept the suggestions from his son or daughter.I also know it's my responsibility to care them, and do something, but now I just can't find sutiable words to speak to my father. Actually, my father isn't the kind person who can't live without drinks, I know mostly he is required to drink as a communication way with someone above his social position.My mother and I did sugget him not to drink in the past. that's the fact, what should I SAY ?

I agree with what who has been sad. You should when your father is not drunk talk to him, and make him understand that he has a problem with drinking. And maybe he need to go to a place where he can get the help he need to quit drinking.

See drinking these days has become very common but yes this cannot override the ill effects of drinking. If you really wish to persuade your father to quit drinking, you should sit and talk to him and even discuss with him the possibilities when you start drinking as a habit and what will he feel in that case. Try to tell him that anything done for society should not affect our home environment.

hi! based to my experience and with the sharing of my friends i think drinks is just a normal of a man thier was no problems about drinks the problems is in the person who drink its just a matter of deciplain of oneself as a child what you can adviced to your father just tell him drinks is ok as long as he should not drink too much caz anything we do if its too much its really not good to our selves even eating so just tell him you just reminding him caz of your love to your father maybe in that manne he cant understand you of what you are trying to tell him.

Yes, you're right, and I sent a Email to my father, but it's too late, as today my mother was too angry to get back to my grandmother's house.Oh, I have to have a talk with my mother now.
