How can I stop my dad from drinking?

recently my dad got barred from a pub for getting violent after drinking too much, now hes going to another pub and getting drunk everytime. when he comes home he always finds things to argue about and he gets quite violent. he doesnt hit me or anything like that he just hits things around him. It scares me like hell as he cant remember doing it the next day. Im worried its going to get worse and its because of the drink. how do I get him away from it, I've tried councelling but he walks out and the doctors said they cant help. I've also tried talking to him but he gets annoyed and goes back tot he pub. Im sure if was up to him he would chose the pub over me what do I do ?

sweetie, I wish I could tell you that it won't get worse, but most likely, it will. I know it hurts to see your dad like that. And I know that this is going ot seam a little tough but you have to try your hardest too act as if there's nothing going on at home(mentally) if you feel he's getting too far, you can tell someone and be removed, but that's your choice, I lved through physical and mental abuse for the past 16 years and now I only I have to go through one more month of it before I can get out..
Anyways, start getting involved with stuff like school, or a job..join some after school group, like cheerleading, that way your never home, an dif you can, on the nights when he goes out drunk, leave. He'll notice you weren't there the next day and not only will you save yourself some painfull memories, but you'll help him see what he's doing. He'll start to miss you, I promise. How old are you?

According to Dr. Drew (an addiction medicine specialist), the single most effective way to deal with this situation is to join Al-anon or Ala-teen. These may exist in your country, or at least their equivalents.
These are organizations that help loved ones and teen children of alcoholics deal with the problems that come when your loved one is an alcoholic. Your attending these meetings will help you, and may be the best shot at learning how you can help your Dad.

I truly wish you the very best. Good Luck!!

the simple answer is that YOU CAN'T STOP YOUR DAD FROM DRINKING, he unfortunately will have to hit rock bottom, somehow and then make his own decision to quit.
I was there 13 years ago, I am single so the only one suffering was me, but I had slit my wrist and was bleeding out, when in the back of my mind- a part of me said- get up, or you are going to die. I had severe demons to get rid of. as it sounds like your dad does.
I was sent to a hospital under police detention, I spent three days not able to drink, I had to buck up and deal with it. that experience still didn't stop me from drinking- a week later I was drunk and hating the world as well as myself. I think differently than most people and it took me to make a decision one morning to totally quit.
my last day as a drunk- I woke up with the woman I spent the night with, only to find out she was married. I don't do that sort of thing , but I did it. that is when I decided to turn my life around. I have been sober ever since.
alcoholism and drug addiction is one of the hardest things to walk away from. the alcohol is covering serious problems that your father does not want to deal with.
the solution?
he needs to be placed within an environment where he doesn't set the rules, that his behaviour will have rewards or punishment, until he finally askes the question of himself ' what have I become?" and how do I change it?
unfortunately, the success rate is rather low, for people becoming and staying sober.
so, you have some decisions to make, do you have family you can turn to?
do you have an alternate SAFE place to live? (aunts, uncles, grandparents)
you need to enlist the aid of a respected family member who has connections to you and your father- and begin discussing what needs to happen.
FOREMOST!!! YOU ARE NOT THE CAUSE OF YOUR FATHERS BEHAVIOUR!!!
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!!
