Post GCSE partying

[Claybury]

DS is planning to spend his summer partying, coming home at all hours (2,30am last night ) and sleeping in. We have tried and tried to get him to do something vaguely constructive - voluntary work, menial work, the Challenge ( he turned down his place ) - are we unreasonable to suggest he should do SOMETHING?
Partly because if he had to get up in the morning he wouldn't be able to party so much.
This week there has been one illegal rave and two other parties past midnight. DH and I aren't sleeping because we worry where he is and what he is going. ( knowing he has experimented with drugs so are fears are not unfounded. )
How to make a 16 yo do anything ? He doesn't need much money, so not much leverage there.
AIBU?

I hear you! waiting for mine to rock in now - with 2 friends sleeping over, 2 hrs late! its hard to take 'phones off of them - can you imagine the hell of the meltdown and stopping them having cash worries me that they might find other ways to get it. Be careful in laying down too strict boundaries because if he does it anyway then you've really lost control.
On the other hand how can we just let them party on regardless? Roll on September, I just don't know how im going to get through this summer!
