So, just a quick rundown for you out there:
>Living with Parents
>Love my Father, real family man, paragon of all that is wholesome.
>He has a smoking problem
>"Oh it's an addiction, it's hard to quit" Mom always says
>Mostly leave that alone despite getting upset about his decaying health every once in a while (Dermo finds cancer on him every now and again, he tells me)
>But things have gotten worse, he's developed an alcohol problem, too.
>Been pissing where he shouldn't be (once I stepped in a puddle of it), taking the dog out on walk too late at night, getting knocked to the ground by his tugging on the leash (got some pretty bad scratches)
>Disruptions late at night, got pretty angry once
>Each time I see an empty cup of Jim Bean on the Rocks, it hurts a little bit harder
I can't stand to see him like this, and to let him do this to himself, but I don't know what to do. Help?

Instead of trying to tackle the habits directly, have you asked him what he's trying to forget with all the drinking? Maybe someone hasn't talked with him on a deeper level in a long time.

What my Mother and I have figured out so far is that he is assailed by an acute burning sensation in his feet that flares up at night. We suspect Diabetic Nerve Degradation, despite my Father having never been diagnosed. We also wonder if it connected with his seemingly narcoleptic habits, as even at noon, he regularly falls into a deep sleep, and can only be awoken around 6 o' clock. This cuts into his ability to perform labors around the house, and has been straining his relationship with my mother.

Forgot to mention: My mother has mentioned that his father was diabetic, and we suspect my father is likely to have it. This is increasingly worrying to me, as when he gets drunk, he likes to have midnight snacks, which, being high in sugars, could worsen his condition.
