Sometimes addictions can be very hard to get by, especially for things like alcohol and smoking. I can understand how you feel, you are very concerned about his health which is a great thing. 

Maybe since your dad just began his process of stopping his alcohol abuse, it might be difficult for him to accept having to drink less. Maybe he has the mindset of "ok I'll drink less and less everyday..." I think that once you return back home you could apologize for freaking out on him. He may have felt bad about himself after you left, so an apology might be good moral support for him to stop drinking. Another thing you can do is to have your grandparents talk to him, if they agree. 

Anyways, I hope this helps. Good luck /)

I don't get mad at my father for his drinking and things, but i know how you feel, it is hard, but you can't change someone's nature, not even by promises and things like that, it's like a hobby/addiction or something like that for them.

I tried to talk with my father too, but he didn't stopped as well,and now i don't care much about it, because i know that he will will not change, i just hope that

his drinking doesn't kill him.

At least yours talks to you. 

And wasn't/isn't abusive (assumption). :U

And is alive. 

If you remember what I said in my comment in your entry on the topic... lieing to oneself and others is a typical alcoholic behaviour. You might have freaked out on him but did you ask him the question "What are you escaping from?" "Don't you realize you hurt me when you drink?" "What's rock bottom for you?"

Just like Bruno said though. Everyone makes their own choices, change is also  one of them.

Quitting is a hard thing. It takes time, and people slip up from time to time. What is important now is making sure he knows you care about him. Support systems are one of the most important things in the quitting process.

Have you considered giving him an intervention.

Thanks all. I know I may have over reacted but what ticked me off was that he's done this before. He's told be that he's going to quit many times before and never once has he remained true to his word.
