My father is 83 years old and has had 2 accidents, one just last night. He goes out to dinner almost every night and drinks 2 or 3 glasses of wine then drives home. How can we get his license taken away from him before he harms himself or someone else?

You could also take the battery out of the car in the mean time.
It is a tough situation. Lovingdaughter's creative thinking worked in their situation. Some are more difficult. Hard to do, but vital! All of the above suggestions are good ones; just find what works for you. It's worth a little parental wrath, and our discomfort having to do it. You never know whose life you will save. Take care, hero caregivers!
When he died, I cleared out the closet to better fit my mom's clothes. When I finally got the closet door closed for the first time in years, I found a shotgun and in his dresser, the extra set of car keys he had been hiding!! He was still determined to get his car back!!!! Had to love the man!! Good luck in your efforts.
