Should i tell my dad i hate him calling me at night?

I love my old man to death but I equally hate him at night because thats when he's intoxicated, and he always calls me then.

I understand his situation. He is not a forward or talkative type when sober. is why its easier for him to only call me at night but given my lifelong repulsion towards fake people, I can't stand talking to him in that state. he is the main reason I have sworn never to taste a drop of alcohol and im 26

Should I tell him that is why I have been rejecting his calls the past two months and that he needs to only call me during the day? which is unlikely to happen cause he will get the urge at night and call me anyway

Or should I just suck it up?

    You should tell him and if he doesn't get it, turn off your phone.

    It's odd that you equate drinking with "fake people". Usually alcohol is thought of as lowering inhibitions and, if anything, making people more honest.

      That is a really good point. My fake people was a lazy description. What I meant is people not acting their true self. Drinking lowers inhibitions but I feel inhibitions and processing thoughts before saying or acting them is what makes us human. I thinks a lot of things in a day but they act on maybe 10 percent. if being drunk made me do a lot of those I would consider that not me. because in my normal and right state of mind I would have made good judgement to not say it

      I guess I have just seen the extremes of what people do when they are drunk. I already have little faith in humanity if you told me drunk people were a reflection of their real honest self the little faith I may as well move to an island lol

        That does make sense. I don't think most people would look at it quite that way though. I can see both sides.

        I mean there's a difference between saying something you wanted to say, but would normally be afraid or embarrassed to bring up, and on the other hand saying or doing something that in a rational state you would know is totally moronic or unethical.

        Then again, I'm not sure there's really a "bright line" between those two things.

    The question of him drinking is his problem....the question of him annoying you at night is your problem...when you dont feel like being annoyed turn off your phone

    Start asking him next time he's drunk if he's ever experimented with anal sex. Tell him that u wear butt plugs while u masterbate & give details how only that way ur load reaches the ceiling. Tell him how glory holes get the best anonymous bjs but the.down side is its from men. When he says TMI tell him not to cal u drunk if he doesnt wanna hear it.
