Should a recovering alcoholic drink non-alcoholic beer?
Non alcoholic beer contains an extremely small amount of alcohol–about the same amount as a container of orange juice that has sat in the fridge for a couple of days! Your father is NOT getting drunk by drinking it. The ativan is another matter. It appears that your father has become addicted to that. He is not “in recovery” at this point, he is a practicing an addiction to prescription drugs–actually a very common addiction these days. I am going to provide you a link which might help you (and him, if he is interested in possibly changing his behavior): http://www.smartrecovery.
