Source: once you go fez, you never go back This moment always bothers me. Bud, a recovering alcoholic, offers his seventeen-year-old son (who -- at this time in the series -- is his genetic child) a beer to cope with anger. Bud should've thought, "Gee, maybe offering my son alcohol to tamp down his feelings isn't the best idea." Talk about helping his kid to follow in his footsteps. Not only that, but Bud also takes Hyde to a nudie bar. So he liquors his kid up, takes him to a place where women are considered less than human -- all to manipulate Hyde to move in with him and pay his rent. Red is so right when he says Bud "isn't good". __________________

Huh, I never thought about that. Would you say that Bud's to blame for the drinking that Hyde did later on?

Hyde's the child of two alcoholics. Before S7, he was genetically related to Bud, so Hyde's DNA was against him. The events of his life catalyzed his predisposition toward alcoholism. He's someone who really shouldn't be drinking, especially because he usually drinks with the sole purpose to get drunk.

Bud doesn't know, nor does he really want to know how to be a father. He'd rather be Hyde's friend. Sometimes, people just aren't cut out to be parents. More than likely, this was a learned behavior from his own father.

Bud doesn't know how to be a father, I totally agree. Red tried to help him out, but in the end, Bud was Bud.

Then again, Bud could've just wanted to have his own name, regardless. __________________

It does seem like Bud didn't have a good father figure either. That is why he didn't know what to do with Steven.

I hated that they did that to his character in season 8. I have to agree with you Lisa, Hyde drinking makes me a bit nervous too, especially with his parents.

I agree with you Lisa. Hyde's pro alcoholism shouldn't be written as a punchline. He was shown to be a lot better than that.

Are there any GOOD fan fics out there that deal with the alcoholism issues with Hyde? I feel like I read one once, but for the life of me I can't think of the titled.
