I dislike him, but I'm just curious.
Because he smokes at least 2 1/2 pack of cigarettes everyday (I guess.. yesterday we went on a long trip, and every 20 minutes or so, he'll smoke)
Then he drinks beer every night( and yester-night, he went home very drunk, he can't walk straight, and even needed his friend to drive him home)
Not very healthy right?
I made a promise to myself that I will not be like him, Never.

This is so unhealthy for him. Please help him. Good for you for promising yourself you will never turn out like him. Get him help. I'd say, depending on how long he's been drinking/smoking, give him 2-10 years

It beats me. But he sure isn't helping himself if he keeps up these habits. He is damaging both his liver with the alcohol and his lungs with the smoking. If you really don't like him, encourage the bad habits and buy life insurance on him. The only smart thing he's doing is not driving home. Usually someone with good habits lives to their 70 -80s. He may not make 60. Just stay out of the car if he does drive drunk. Good luck.

my dad smoked but a lot more than your dad...He died from lung cancer when he was 63. but everyone is different. My dad never drank, and he was exposed to the asbestos a lot when he was younger working at the shipyard and stuff.
You cant make a smoker quit, I tried so hard when my dad was alive to make him quit. He has to want to. Just like your dad has to want to stop drinking. You cant save him, He can only save himself. Id say take him to AA or Church..Church Worked for my dad 2 years before he died and he stopped smoking. I agree, spend time with your dad...he's the only dad you will ever have.

Wow, he's young. Enjoy him while he's still here. Only God knows how many years he has left. At least you've seen the damage it has done to him. Just love him through it all even though you have a difficult time watching this. If he's willing to listen, you can try to offer him some advice about living healthier.
