[quote=Anonymous]Many good points here, but one thing I don't see addressed is the "why." What would you and your husband say about why you drank to excess in college? Because everyone else was doing it? Because it was an activity or goal? Because that was the only way things seemed fun? Same with your daughter: why does she like it? There are different reasons, and if it seems like there's something she's medicating with alcohol, maybe she can address that. For example, if everything seems boring unless she's drunk, maybe she can think about why she wants to go to parties that would otherwise seem boring. Or if it makes her cool to be the drunk girl, maybe there's some self-esteem stuff going on. It's great that she's ben open with you, and you should consider opening the door about this. [/quote]
