no harm in drinking at 16, shud speak to her bout that tho- used to drink vodka 2 get drunk on as little as possible as parentel restrictions meant larger volumes of weaker alcohol weren't practicle. dangerous stuff, ended in hospital lol #61

speak to your daughter about the vodka. i used to drink alcohol everyday for about 7 months straight without my parents knowing (years ago). almost ended up in the hospital several times.

your son will just take one sip and be disgusted

Great job raising your daughter.

When I was in high school we all kept our alcohol in water bottles. As we weren't twenty-one, getting alcohol was difficult and so when we got it we had to save it. It is much easier to hide a couple of plastic water bottles around than it is to hide a handle of vodka. This kind of makes me nostalgic.

Well, your daughter is already drinking regularly and she is only 16! What's the big deal? The kid will end up having a drink sooner or later anyway. It's just an FML if it was Viaka rather than top shelf, because that is just shameful.

The "You're a bad parent" comments are going to be inevitable, though realistically, it's probably not your fault. Unless you spent her childhood years getting hammered and drunkenly flirting with your daughter, then you didn't really do anything wrong. Alot of people need to realize that MOST, NOT ALL teenagers go through the whole "rebel from parents" phase. As much as you try to keep your kid on the right path, unless you follow your kid around on her every move, hiding in bushes and boxes like the guy from Metal Gear Solid, shit's gonna happen. She'll get drunk a few times, maybe smoke a bit of weed. It sucks, but 9 times out of 10, she'll grow out of it. This doesn't mean stop trying to keep it from happening, just don't beat yourself up for thinking you're a bad parent. Teenagers can't wait to be adults, and once they are, they wish they were teenagers again. Wow, that's a handful.

your smart

Why not just use a water bottle that you refill instead of being so wasteful?

lol @ 69 for the Metal Gear Solid reference.
