  • I would probably do the same thing my brothers did to me the first time I drank. Wait until she wakes up in the morning with a hangover and make as much noise as possible. Then talk to her later about it.
  • I think the Throwing up and passing out is enough a lesson to her.
  • Sit down and talk to her about the dangers of drinking in excess.
  • Insist on taking her to the doctor to make sure there aren't any lasting bad effects, and the doctor talk to her.
  • I would be worried that she did it and glad that she got so ill. maybe, hopefully, she'll have learned a very valuable lesson at her young age. Also, at the same timeI would have been terrified of her passing out, that's a lot of alcohol to consume. Best of luck to you both. Hope all is ok.
  • first thing i would do is make her get up very early the next day and make her do thngs like mow the yard...vacumn the floors anything that would be loud and irritating to her massive hangover. then i would ground her for quite some time.
  • First thing I would do is take pictures. Then, allow her to wake up with the hellacious hangover, have her clean up the puke through the hangover, then have a nice discussion about why exactly it is that 13 year old girls do not binge drink. Of course, we will be repeating that conversation again the day after, with the pictures as lesson aides.
  • I would stop keeping wine on hand.
  • Wonder why the wine was so accessible to a 13 year old and why she had not been told the consequences of drinking it, such as how it would affect her.
  • I would ask her if she liked that type of wine and when she wants to try it again. If at first you don't succeed, keep trying.
  • Instead of grounding her, like most parents idiotically do, i'd let her sit in her own shit. So basically, i'd let her have the hangover and feel horrible...And then give her a talk after drinking and how to drink responsibly. Look, when i was thirteen i would climb up on the counters into the liquor cabinet and take my dad's bacardi rum. He of course found out, but i never drank over the top. The reason i didn't drink over the top was that my parents would let me have a glass of wine at dinner whenever i wanted to, making it not such a big deal to drink resonsibly. Either way, a teenager is going to experience what all the other kids are doing, no matter what you do. So, my best advice is let her have a glass of wine at dinner and show her how to drink responsibly. The more that you make it a big bad deal, the more its going to look tempting to do.
  • Take a video of her in her current state, hoping to get a good projection of vomit, and post it on her MySpace page for all her friends to see. Would also change her password so the video won't be removed before its time. YouTube may also be presenting said video.
  • Thats a tough one, I guess it could have been a good learning experience for her... Im reading the other answers right now, my lil sis is 9 , I hope I dont have to bang pots and pans!
  • Where were you that you didnt know she drank that much wine? Maybe you should look at yourself and your drinking habits first.
  • I'd put her to bed with 2 Aspirins....and in the morning I would sit on the end of her bed and very kindly ask her if she enjoyed herself....that any fool can get drunk....that this was a lesson she should never forget....and, the next time, she would be in deep, deep shit. Then I'd let her nurse her hangover. We all get to screw up once, don't we?
  • I WOULD DEFINALY THINK OF A PUNISHMENT, AND WATCH VERY CLOSELY, MY BROTHER-IN-LAW WAS A FULL GROWN ALCOHOLIC BY THE TIME HE WAS 18
  • my mother made me get up at the crack of dawn and work my a$$ of the rest of the day. owww that hurt!
  • I would wake her up early the next morning with a plate of eggs and a bunch of chores. I might even consider getting the wine out of the house.
  • I don't drink at all, so there's no kind of alcohol beverage stored in my house. But I only can imagine for anyone having to go through such an experience with their 13 years old child. That's way too young.
  • not possible... the only alchohol in my house is nyquil and listerine. however the day my children get drunk is the day before they wirk their asses off with every loud or strong smelling chore in the house.
  • I would just put it down to being a typical teenager! I rememeber doing that sort of stuff when I was her age, I wouldn't be too concerned. At least if she was sick because she drank too much, she won't do it again in a hurry! I'd just sit down with her and have a firm, but fair, chat with her and explain (but try and be on her level, otherwise it's not going to work) the good and bad points of drinking. There's no point telling her alcohol is bad and not to drink it, because she's just going to go out and behind your back and do it again... Maybe let her have a small glass of wine with dinner every now and again..
  • Punishment!
  • The hang over is built in punishment. I have had some bad ones, where the slightest movement sent me close to hurling... and I learned my lesson quick.
  • i would put her to bed, and clean everything up. and when she is feeling better, in a couple of days, we would talk about what happened.
  • High five, hydrate and annoy the crap out of her cause she is hung over : )
  • Get her some help. she is an alcoholic.
  • make sure she cleaned up everything when she has a hangover. ask her why she did it, and don't respond with anger! talk to her like you would an adult (kinda) and tell her that it is wrong for any one to drink that much and make sure that she drinks water all day, bec when drinking wine any water you drink the next day will just make the hang over worst, (or at least that's what i found out is true for me). but the bright side is that at least she is drinking at home and not out with her so called friends. is that you would not have to worry about anything happening to her. and take pictures for learning aids and also for any future mishaps take pictures of those and keep as learning aids.
  • I would wait until she was sober, and then have a talk with her about responsible drug use. I would also express regret at her going against me behind my back, and explain how it would take awhile for her to build that trust up again. Because she acted so irresponsibly, I can't very well treat her like a responsible young adult, can I? Likely I would revoke some of her privileges until she could prove to me she was responsible enough to handle them. I would also ask her why she stole and drank all that wine.
  • I'd say that she's already punished herself. If I were in your shoes I would just have a talk with her. Something along the lines of: Honey, I'm very disappointed in your behavior. You have lost my trust and you will have to earn it back. Good luck in handling this one, I hope I never have to deal with this sort of thing...
  • lmaoo! i got busted for this sorta thing a little while back. :S she punished herself trust mee!!
  • She needs to learn her lesson. Start by taking away any I-pod and cell Phone ....at least for 30 days . Take the land line phone, Stereo-Radios and television out of her room; again for 30 days .... and make sure NO ONE can talk to her on any other house phones etc .... She goes NO WHERE , no matter what plans have been made .. CANCEL THEM ! This may seem a litle "Tough" ... BUT; you do this instead of just a small thing ... and she WILL remember the conserquences of her actions .... I'd even take her to an e/r on a Friday / Saturday Night to let her see any victims that may come in as a result of being drunk .... Take care ..
  • I would make her clean it up when she got up, sit down and talk to her about the dangers of drinking like that, and then buy a lock for the wine celler, lol. I'm sure the hangover will also teach her a lesson.
  • i'd wup her ass and lock the wine cabinet or hide it. or not have it at all
  • Ask her if she learned her lesson...
  • Well, that is hard because you can't replace some wines very easily....they could have been from different countries around the world....like gifts and souvenirs.....I would do the same thing my parents did when my brother got into the neighbors booze.....they mad him do free work all year for the couple.....I think he learned his lesson. They have a huge yard with ton of landscaping.
  • Well first of all she should't be drinking that much for that age. Then you can go ahead scold her and punish her depending on how you feel how bad she did.
  • SHe prolly had a hangover. Id make it a point to turn on everylite in the house and talk really loud, slam cabinet doors. Cook sum sloop for breakfast. When she runs out the room or betta yet the house ask her if evertings ok. IDK thats just what id do. Then of course afta she fells betta have atalk bout why not to drink...eva again! lol
  • I suppose stoning is a bit harsh, so scratch that. if this is her first time doing something like this, her bad experience alone will likely be part of her lesson., I would start by taking money from her allowance if she has one to pay for what she wasted.
  • that's the stupidest answer i've ever heard 'high shaman'. she'll snd up drinking even more quantity and more often if you do those kind of dumb punishments and she'll do it behind your back, and you'll have on control whatsoever on your daughters actions. you should just give her a talk and maybe take her to the ER if you notice that the talk didnt have any effect on her. the hangover and the 2 hour sermon will be enough punishment to make her reject even a sip of champagne on new years eve.
  • The experience is a punishment in itself. Make her clean up the mess when she wakes up and then talk to her about it. After she has to clean up after herself, I bet she will never do it again...
  • i would ask her ''why did u drink that much?''
  • end her. Permanently
  • I would sit with her until she wakes up. Then I would talk to her. Something's obvioiusly bothered her a lot to make her do this, and my job is to find out what it is. After I find out what it is, then I will ask her to clean up the mess. I would get her into counseling if I can't find out what it is. On a side note, I don't drink. I never have, and even if I did I wouldn't EVER keep it in the house.
  • Let her sleep it off and in the morning when she is sick as a dog tell her to always remember how she feels at that moment. Might work. Didn't work for me though when my Mother told me the same thing.
  • Wake her up at 5:00 am. Make her clean it up and then iron all day long the next day. If she tries to go back to bed, wait til she is asleep, wake her up and go back to the ironing board. My mother did this to me and 30 some years later, I still get sick just smelling wiskey.
  • Id say she punished herself, in the afternoon when she wakes up, make her work off the cost of the wine through extra chores.
  • First I will throw her butt into a cold shower and try to get her up. Then I will take her to the doctor if she still doesn't wake I take her to the doctors to make sure she is ok. If the doctor says shes ok, I will take her home after she has been suffeciently hydrated. And I will ask the doc not to make her make a full recovery. Just enough where she isn't in any danger. Then I will take her home, make her clean the mess while she is still feeling hung over. Then when she can feel again I will kick her butt and teach her about the dangers of alchohol posioning. So many young people die from it every year. Just thinking what they see on tv is funny. And so few people realize that after the first few shots taste is one of the things to go so you wouldn't realize that there is more alcohol. I will also show her pictures of her shivering from the cold shower, to drive home the fact that she was in no condidtion to fight me or even step out of the shower. So in getting drunk she leaves herself vunerable to anyone around her. And if they are drunk as well they will be incapable to help her if she needs it or may take advantage of her. I will also see if I could put her in an AA class so she can see how easy it was for people to start and not finish. And I would be rid of my liquor, because I would be sending a double message.
  • Assuming this is the first time, let her ride out the hangover. Stay with her all night so that you make sure she doesn't do more than pass out. But she'll be a hurtin' unit in the morning. At which point, she should resume a normal day. If she can't go to school, she can sure as hell get up, clean her room, do some chores, etc. That will make the hangover worse! Which is what you want. When she's back to normal, then you sit her down and talk about what happened. Find out if this is a one time thing, ongoing thing, what caused her to drink that much, etc. Then you come up with a pact that both of you sign for the future. MADD and SADD websites have all sorts of them to use as examples.
  • dont keep wine in the house.
