Well done. I'm glad that all went well. Sounds like the conversation was working out and it just went there.

Don't feel bad about your dad's beers - they don't matter to him in the same way they would an alcoholic, and he obviously wants to demonstrate his support and solidarity. He might even be seeing alcohol in self in a different light. He's likely feeling a little impotent to 'Do' anything at the moment, so that little gesture might make him feel better (more better than drinking the beer would anyway).[/QUOTE

If my dad is watching the football, he'll have like four beers and be done. Before December, last time he drunk was October (gosh I envy people like that). But he did tell me that when he was my age, he drink a lot. He said it wasn't to the point of being a drunk, but he did drink a lot with his friends. Like from Friday to Sunday. But as he grew he toned it down. He's now one of those who has one beer and is done. But I do appreciate his gesture. He's been so supportive of me today. Don't know what I did to deserve him.
