To insist sleepover is at my house

Dd16 has been going little off the rails lately
.
Hanging out with new friend, and had a few incidents recently.
One where she got really drunk in the town centre with this friend and could barely walk.
Last week we found her bed empty at 3 am and turns out she had been sneaking out in middle of the night to meet a boy. She says just once but we think maybe a few times.

She has asked to stay at friends house tonight but I have asked them to stay here instead, as basically I don’t think I trust her and think she will be out drinking and possibly sleeping with this boy and the sleepover is a cover.

I have asked to meet the boy who she says is from school but it hasn’t happened yet.

She has broken my trust with the recent antics and I am worried she iis not making good decisions. She is a bit emotionally vulnerable, and has anxiety.

We did have a big chat last week after the sneaking out incident and spoke about contraception, trust, relationships etc

but I am still uneasy and struggling to trust her, especially when hanging out with this friend as I don not know them or their parents at all.

Am I being unreasonable?

What were the consequences for getting drunk or sneaking out?

I wouldn’t be letting her have any sleepover at all.

Personally I would have said no sleepover or socialising this weekend after sneaking out of the house last weekend. It sounds like whenever she exhibits behaviour that’s unacceptable to you there’s no consequences and she ultimately can just do whatever she wants.
