How to get your parents to stop drinking?

Have you tried everything to get your parents to stop drinking? From pleading with them, hiding their alcohol, even replacing it with water – nothing seems to work! But fear not, because we’ve compiled a list of proven methods that will finally make your parents put down the bottle and pick up some sober habits.
So sit back, relax (with a non-alcoholic beverage) and keep reading.

The Mayonnaise Solution

Yes, you read correctly – mayo can help solve your parent’s drinking problem. According to recent studies, consuming large amounts of mayonnaise causes an intense reaction in the body that renders any potential alcoholic drink completely unpalatable.

Don’t believe us? Try this experiment: fill two shot glasses, one with pure vodka or whiskey and one mixed with an equal amount of mayonnaise. Watch as your parents take a sip from each glass – chances are they’ll run straight for the nearest toilet bowl (while clutching their stomachs) once they taste the mayo concoction.

Intervention Time

Sometimes tough love is necessary when helping loved ones overcome addiction- but why shouldn’t it be fun too? Organize an intervention party; invite friends and family over and celebrate a night filled with heartfelt speeches on how much everyone wants them (your parents) to quit drinking altogether.
This approach works wonders when executed properly- make sure there is food involved- as well as ample beverages-other than booze.

Offer A Reward System

There’s nothing like incentivizing someone‘s behavior by offering rewards in exchange for good action results. Tell your folks if they achieve six months or more without touching alcohol, then you’ll treat them both bagsel bagels smothered in cream cheeseand lox(or alternative favourites).

Alternatively, offer something less tasty-but just-as-satisfying- an all expenses-paid vacation to their dream destination. Trust us, they’ll resist the urge to drink like a sailor when given an incentive like that.

Opt for Professional Help

We get it – staging interventions and offering rewards may not work for your family situation-in which case you might want to consider seeking professional counsel instead.
There are many registered counsellors with years of experience in helping families affected by alcohol abuse.

Where do you find such services? You can start with SAMHSA or the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration; this service offers confidential counselling free-of-charge.

Interventionist

If conventional therapy doesn’t seem appropriate, consider hiring an interventionist a paid third party who facilitates face-to-face meetings between parents and family members concerned about their drinking habits.These specialist individuals help facilitate frank discussions, encourage positive behaviours while discouraging negative actions. They also act as mediators during heated exchanges that tend to arise during these gatherings.

Watching a parent succumbto alcoholism is distressing-but there is hope yet! Employing tactics that could induce laughter (or shock)into proceedings may work wonders when subtle approaches fail.Have some fun while trying out different methods-you never know what will finally stimulate them into breaking bad habits-for good!
