Perhaps it would be best for YOU to go to a meeting at alateen or AA and get some ideas on how to approach this for your own personal situation.
Best of luck.

Yes, in a healthy family open communication is important. Don't keep secrets, and if something is bothering you, speak up. You may find your suspicions are not founded after all. Or you may find that your parents are trying to deal with the problem already. Regardless of what they do, at least you will have opened up the issue, which is better than keeping it bottled inside. And if you get a bad reaction from them, go to an outside source (school counselor perhaps) to further discuss this.

Yes, as a recovering alcoholic, it actually took my childrens words and actions to make me think about how I was destroying all of our lives. Don't go into it looking for a fight, but express your concerns and your love. It could be just the push in the right direction that your parent is needing. Some people actually call this an intervention, and they can help if the person is willing and wanting the help.

My mom was addicted to Valium when I was in high school...she would get real psycho when she ran out of her prescription. Anyway I confronted her about it and she got help and we had a long happy relationship. Luckily we had the type of relationship that I could confront her and reason with her. I'm afraid that if any of my siblings had tried to confront her it would not have turned out the same. So I guess the answer is yes if you think you have the type of relationship that will allow you to confront her then you should give it a try.

Yes. They need to know how you feel. And if they do have a drinking problem they might not be aware of it unless you bring it to their attention. A drinking problem can cause many future problems in the family, if you suggest they get help now that could be prevented. They might deny it in the begining but at least you brought the problem to their attention, if they care about their child and really have a drinking problem they will get some help. Your thought might help them change.

Thats really something thats up to you.. do an intervention whenever you think is necessary, but don't do it for the wrong reasons. I know how painful it is to have an alcoholic parent, but don't do it in a way that is attacking them. It will only make matters worse.
Know that it is their problem, not yours. They will get help whenever they are ready for it, but don't push them into it.
If it really affects you, try al-anon. It seriously saved me.

Yes even if to do nothing more than get it out of your system. Pent up thoughts will rip you apart from the inside out if you dont get them out, and it may turn out that you can turn the problem around if they do have an issue with drinking.

talk to them about it and express love and concern. ask them if they think that they are drinking to much. Most people know they when they are. Some people just need someone to point it out to them.
