The alcohol was the culprit here. Whatever was said in the argument is pointless, cause and effect and the result is another broken family. Fater and son, grandfather and grandson ruined over drinking and leaving a ball game early. Egos get involved and this leads to more disharmony. Of course the problem is more systemic as the drinking started long ago and over the course of time a marriage was ended. So sad when relationships are ended especially if it is father and son. I have no answers or strategies or remedies. There would need to be an intermediary IMO. Neutral party, counselor, pastor or priest, etc. you are not alone certainly, not alone.

Way to keep your cool while the kids are being berated. The manly and common sense thing to do would be to call your sister outside and defend your nieces and nephews.
.....all joking aside your main concern should be your son...he should never be around your father when alcohol is involved...I grew up with a older alcoholic stepbrother who made my father's life miserable. As a young boy I saw manys fights that I should not have...best of luck
