[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell her the truth - you go to a hotel room for sex.  Watch out for any open drinks - don't outright ban drinking but tell her she is never to drink from an open cup, she needs to open the bottles/cans and hold on to them as someone could spike them.  I would tell her to call you and you will come get her no questions/consequences if she wants to come home. [/quote]

And don't forget to tell her, if she does decide to drink, not to accept a drink from anyone.  Say, "sure, show me where I can get one for myself."

I've taught my kid the dangers of underage drinking and I've explained why I hope she chooses not to drink (alcoholism on my side of the family in several relatives), but I don't want to just be blind to the fact that she may and if that happens, I want to teach her the proper drinking rules.

Also, mention that sometimes people go to hotel rooms during prom to party.  It's harder to get alcohol in the prom than in the hotel.  Our prom has a rule that once you leave the ballroom, you can't come back in.  That stops the kids from going in and out drinking, but there have been issues in past years with parents renting hotel rooms and the kids leaving the prom early to just drink and party in the hotel room.

And remind her that the police are extra vigilant on prom night and have more patrols out.  They don't hesitate to issue underage drinking tickets when called to a loud, rowdy hotel room.

I think the fact that you're picking her up at 11 is good.  Most of the problems tend to happen later when the prom ends.  [/quote]
