I read what you suggest in the area of alcohol [viewed here]. I don't think I could follow through with calling the police and turning her in for under aged drinking ...a record of this kind is part of what we're trying to avoid ….along with the obviously safety issues. Do you have any other suggestions or do you believe that's the only thing that could possibly help?
==============
Do I have any other suggestions? Are you kiddin' me?
Absolutely not!!!
I'm going to have to be a bit blunt here:
You are trying to save your daughter from painful emotions associated with her poor choices. This is a "traditional" parenting strategy that WILL cause you more problems -- I guarantee it.
I can see you have a way to go yet with the business of tough love.

P.S. You just got a dose of tough love yourself.
