I get angry when anyone I care about gets drunk

I grew up in an alcoholic family and I still harbor a lot of resentment from that. I also still live at home and go to college and have to be around my father who drinks a lot (believe me, we've tried everything to get him to stop. He ultimately won't and we can't force him). I love him to death but I can barely be in a room with him even if he's sober because I get so angry.

If my boyfriend or friends get drunk (which is only once in a while) I still get horribly angry. I am not an angry person at all but this is the one thing that sets me off.

I don't really show it around them because I know I would sound irrational, so I keep it to myself and it tears me up.

How do I let that anger go?? I hate feeling this way...
