Problem: Article: You don't need to have the perfect speech prepared because the most important thing is that you express your concern with care, gentleness and respect. These general guidelines will help you avoid common pitfalls of confronting a parent about their drinking: Don't strike up the conversation while your parent is drinking. If you know he or she typically starts in the evening, make it a point to bring it up earlier in the day. You might open with something like "I've thought a lot about something that I'd like to bring to your attention. It is difficult for me to talk about, so please be patient." This way you are presenting the issue as a mutual struggle rather than an accusation. Resist using dramatic gestures like pouring a bottle of liquor into the drain. This will only make it seem like you are being forceful rather than concerned and can end up making your parent exasperated and unreceptive to what you're saying. Instead, focus on the damage that the drinking is causing in the present. Bringing up old memories can quickly spiral into a "who can remember past events best" game and causes unnecessary pain to your parent. Be sensitive to how much your parent can handle. Avoid a confrontational approach. Make sure that you do not preach, moralize, or judge the problem. If your parent denies that they drink too much, do retort by saying something like, "You may not be drinking much by others' standards, but the amount is still enough to cause disarray in our family that troubles me greatly." Also, you'll want to balance the conversation by mentioning positive characteristics that you cherish most about your parent. Contrast these by saying, for instance, "When you drink, I miss your silly side. You never crack jokes to me when you drink like you used to when I was little." Stay away from the words "alcoholic" or "addict" since they carry a heavy stigma. Even if you don't mean it, using these words may make your parent feel so ashamed that they give up on themselves and continue drinking in greater privacy. Present only the facts of what you have observed about your parent's behavior, such as, "I've noticed that you drink almost a full bottle of wine over dinner" instead of, "You're drunk all the time!" Keep the emphasis on what you notice and what you are feeling. This way it doesn't matter whether or not the parent has a problem according to some outside standards--they will see that you are concerned and cannot argue about your feelings. Also, talk about the effect of alcohol or drug use on whatever you parent cares about the most. Think about your parent's age and their current priorities so that you can show how these things (i.e. mobility, memory loss, others' opinions) are being affected. Because it's easy to interpret concern as criticism, your parent might be resistant and angered by your plea for them to drink less. You will be tempted to hear their anger and unwillingness and to respond in kind. Do not do this. Make sure your parent knows that you love them no matter what, and that your concern is coming from this love. For example, you might tell your parent, "the reason your excessive drinking bothers me in the first place is because of how much I love you." If they respond by saying, "You don't still love me when I drink?", remind your parent--"I do, but it becomes difficult to embrace or express it when I am upset with our home life...especially when I think a solution is in sight." No matter how your parents tries to justify their drinking, stay centered on what you know to be true: their drinking is affecting you and your relationship. Because of the pain of admitting there is a problem, parents may be unable to see the truth about a situation. Problem drinkers may also try to blame someone else since this is easier than taking responsibility on their own. So, even when facing accusations about your own role in a parents drinking, know that you are not at fault. Another common tactic is for parents to try to minimize the problem by trying to convince you that their drinking habits are normal--within the boundaries of what anyone trying to loosen up would drink. It is easy to take a parent's word that their drinking is only as heavy as it is temporarily. Avoid joining in by accepting excuses or feeling at fault for their actions. This will only prolong your parent from really feeling the consequences of their behavior. To increase the likelihood of really cutting back, agree with your parent on ways that they can monitor their drinking. You might try setting a limit with them--maybe you'll only buy one bottle of liquor for the house per week. Or, come up with a code word that will signal your parent to watch their drinking in specific moments (like when the parent must drive, or is having company over). Make sure the limit is reasonable to you and your parent, and that the code word is memorable. Depending on the severity of the problem, it could be very difficult for your parent to drink less alcohol. You may want to suggest that they see a therapist or join a support group for others trying to be more mindful of how much they drink.

Summary: Address the issue. Drop the drama. Be direct and specific. Express love and concern. Listen, but make your cause the first priority. Come up with limiting tactics. Suggest options for outside treatment or aid.
