you can file a police report.
you can talk to another adult who you respect and trust.
your father has an illness (alcoholism) and i haven't known many to be stable or rational. you father is apparently very ill, seeing how he is missing work.
you can also do a search for Alateen, which is a support group for teens who live with, or whose lives have been affected by alcoholism. You can attend meetings in your community (either Alanon or Alateen will do). It's free, and you will likely meet many others who have very similar stories to yours.
you deserve to be safe. i think that you will get a lot of helpful advice at Alanon or Alateen...and these people can also give you good suggestions about what to do.... you need support right now...
sending hugs.
