[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone.

We have a family history of alcoholism, on my side as well as on DH's. And, in all honesty, I did not handle this situation very well. I always thought I'd be so much better when the time came! I wouldn't say I was horrible (no yelling or outright 'punishment', but there were consequences less freedom during spring break).

I like the approach of having her do research on alcoholism. [/quote]

I’m glad you had a conversation and continue to have conversations. It’s such a big deal that your kid is talking to you.  Keep that going.  That is more important and will have a far greater impact than any punishment.

I would personally not take the cell phone. It’s not relevant to what happened, unless you know they were filming and posting, and I am all about natural consequences.  Not hanging out with these friends for a while (maybe not forever) and no sleepovers for a long time would be the natural consequence in our house.  [/quote]
