To not really want DD getting drunk at home?

DD (19) has started getting into alcohol. Never really enjoys going out with friends into town/to their house and prefer buying it and drinking it at home. She has done it for 3 weekends straight now. Spending almost £40 each time. I'm not keen on encouraging the spending. Also, on 2 of the weekends I've had to tell her to get in from the garden as she was laughing too loud. I don't have an issue with her drinking, but honestly, I think I'd be much more okay with it if she was out with friends. Any opinions would be nice, thanks.

but I'm glad she's choosing to drink at home ATM instead of go out as being in town + getting plastered is a recipe for disaster as my best friend has proven(

Sorry but I massively disagree with the above. Both indicate not very healthy relationships with alcohol, but getting drunk on your own is far less safe (vomit and choke, stagger and hit head - who's there to help?), and the former in addition is a massively indicator of some pretty serious MH problems - the latter isn't.

Sorry I weren't aware she was doing it home alone Blush

I was just thinking more from my experiences as a youngen, it was really dangerous to go out drinking back then anything could happen you needed a lot of people and one to stay fairly sober to make sure you were all okay.
I know it's super unhealthy I was just implying at home with people Is better than out and alone
My apologies
