Am I bad person?

So I went to visit my grandfather yesterday at his retirement home.

He is a great man, very smart and a great speaker. Anyways, he had a stroke and now he is a wheel chair and his speech is really messed up, but his mind is still there, he just can't take care of him self anymore.

Anyways, at the home they have a "pub night" and let the folks there have 2 drinks max. So he tells me about it and how sometimes he just wants to get drunk and wanted me to sneak in a bottle of wine for him.

So I know it is bad for his health, but at this point does it really matter? Would I be a bad person if I brought him a bottle of wine?

Depends on the medications he's taking. It could adversely affect him. I'd find out what meds he's taking and see if they interact badly with alcohol. Also, find out what the facilities policies are on drunk patients. ;)

He is retired, he SHOULD be enjoying himself not having his occasional wish for a bottle of wine dictated to him by some 20-40yr old that aint even shit in life yet compared to him. Put yourself in his position.....if you had ended up in a retirement home, in a wheelchair, after having a stroke and unable to speak in the way to which you have been used to your whole life would you not want to enjoy the odd tipple every now and again?

Plus as you said he is a grandfather with his own mind that is in your own words "very smart"

Towards the end of my Grandfathers life he was bedridden. He always wanted one of two things Tuborg beer and Wendy's fries. He was 82. Guess what he got his fries and beer whenever I could bring them. If you're comfortable taking him the wine, it's a no brainer take it to him.

I think you mean well but think it over before you do is all I would suggest.
Those places run short staffed usually unless it is a very nice place.
The patients for the most part have soft skin and injure easily so if your Gpa gets all horned up and they have to restrain him that would be on you IMO. Anyway I tend to think in worse case scenarios so don`t let me be the buzzkil, lol Plus my wife is a nurse and it could cause a diognostic problem if he acts fucked up and they do not smell the booze.

I have put myself in his position and not only would I want a bottle of wine sometimes, I would definitely want someone to bring me some herb too.

The thing I am most scared of is if it kills him. Not only would I feel horrible, but the blame from family and friends afterwards might be unbearable, you know? Also some of my family is a little crazy and might take me to court.

But to give an old man a dying wish? It seems like all the worries would be worth it.

I think you're worrying.

But plainly, do only something with which you're at ease. cn

Then how about you take him "out for a walk and some fresh air" and just happen to take your eyes off him for a second whilst outside a liquor store and not happen to notice him pop inside n buy a bottle?

if they find out you will be unable to visit said Grandfather on the property.
You are not the first person to think of this. It happens fairly often where my wife works. He has to dispose of the bottle and not act weird and not smell like booze.
Then there is always the unforeseen like in the middle of the night he slips or needs pain meds and he does not tell them he has booze on board. Anyway

I got it.

What about wrapping it up as a present, leaving it in his room when no one is around and make a fake card that says "From Susan" or something. Then if something happens they will look for a woman named Susan?

When my Father was in the last stages of cancer and we all were aware of what was going to happen, the first thing my dad did after the doc left the room, was tell me to get my ass to the liquor store and get him a bottle of bourbon. I couldn't get there and back fast enough. I still have about 1/3 of that bottle and I take a wee sip on his birthday every year and will do so untill it is no more.

Peace

Give him the wine, and a viagra, and instructions to find a lady to share the wine with. Not too much booze, and a fun night all around. Trust me, it goes on in those places all the time.
