Hahahaaha! @ #28

Starting him young, I see.

has nobody on this website been 16 before?

I drink bottled water because I live in America. The junk they add to our water makes it unsafe for people like me who need to take medicine. The chlorine in city water knocks out the effectiveness of my medicine

Some of the people who comment here are so clueless. The FML is not "zomg my 16 year old daughter was going to drink alcohol!", it was the mix-up. Teenagers drink. Parents of teenagers know this. Some of them are nazis about it, but most of them realize that all they can (and should) do is to teach them to be responsible about it and to keep them from going overboard. The friends of mine whose parents freak out on them when they get caught drinking or smoking have all ended up being the ones who drank/smoked too much/often and were obnoxious assholes while they were drunk. Also, drinking everyday isn't as bad as people think. Certainly many, if not a majority of people can't break a habit and will let it progress into an addiction, but if you have self control and are self aware, it's no problem. I go for months at a time drinking every day in the morning, afternoon, and nighttime and then won't have a drink for months. I used to smoke pot all day everyday, and now I rarely do. I used to drop acid every 5 days and I haven't in months. I've used many addictive drugs (cocaine, opiates, methamphetamines, ketamine, etc.) and never once even developed a dangerous habit. I'm not saying to do these things, just that people overreact a lot and that just because you drink/use drugs you don't have to burn out.

@76, you do know that bottled water (unless you're buying fiji water everyday) IS tap water, right? It generally goes through filtering processes such as reverse osmosis, but you can install a reverse osmosis filter in line to your faucet very easily and for very little money. If you do that, you'll save money, water, and plastic.

stop using bottled water! use the reusable bottles. i bet your carbon footprint is HUGE. YDI

@ #69: "Unless you spent her childhood years getting hammered and drunkenly flirting with your daughter, then you didn't really do anything wrong." You mean like Dina Lohan?

more like F your daughter's life. It's not too late to go back on your parenting fail.

@Bauer. (As in Jack Bauer? Awesome) Anyway, I have to disagree with you. Someone isn't a bad parent just because their child mistook vodka for water. They look exactly the same. In the daughters defense, it was an honest mistake. I'm not saying she should have had the vodka in the first place. I'm just sayin, I'm not surprised. And making a mistake is hardly a sign of bad parenting.
