Why can't they just make the crap illegal already? These and cigarettes really shouldn't be legal.
Until my dad quits drinking, I refuse to take any crap from him about my diet.
"John, I really wish you'd quit eating all that junk food."
"I wish you'd quit drinking so much."
"Maybe if you ate healthier, I would quit."
*Under my breath as I walked away* "Yeah, suuure you would."
Actual conversation there. Either way, I fail to see the appeal of beer. It doesn't taste that great.
Don't use what your dad does as an excuse to do something yourself. Junk food is delicious but just make sure your diet is well rounded. Honestly I have a bag of starbursts, but I also have peanuts, and pink lady apples(they are delicious, my favorite apple) as well as crackers and cheese all within proximity of my lounging area.
I am no expert in that stuff though, I never really had a eating problem, in fact my metabolism is kinda high, I have to ensure I eat enough or I just start losing weight, I am still like 140, and I am 6 foot so that is a little on the light side.
But I digress, your dad sounds like he really is just trying to care for you. He might not be the best dad but he is still your dad and I am certain he means well. If his drinking is really a problem I would seriously consider trying to get help for him though.
Also as shown by prohibition, making alcohol illegal does not work. In fact it makes it worse. Which is why I think it is such a problem on college campuses.
