The fairy of forgiveness has removed your red text.
There are support groups for people in your position:

See if any of the above meet in your area.

You need to understand that it is not your responsibility to fix your dad, any more than you could cure his cancer if he had that.

What you need to do is to break the cycle and ensure you don't become an alcoholic yourself, as you obviously have the genetic potential for it. I would advise not drinking at all. Can't get hooked if you don't partake. The big danger of people in your situation is that you start drinking to cope with the pain of your dad drinking, and thus the cycle continues.
