17 year olds whole bottle of wine at lunch!

[mrsmuggins53]

After dinner barely turned 17 year old daughter very casually pulled bottle of white wine out of the fridge and guzzled most of it. Drank it like it was a cup of coffee! Didn't want to make an issue and was curious to see how far she'd go. Partly because I thought she was doing it to get a reaction out of me. She seems very sober still just a bit more chatty. She's now in her room on her phone. Do I say anything? Or not make an issue? We have a fairly tense relationship and she barely opens up to me.

Well I think I'd have said something as soon as she poured a glass. She shouldn't help herself to alcohol you've bought and it's very unhealthy to smash a whole bottle!

Have you been aware of her drinking before because necking virtually a whole bottle and still seeming quite sober suggests she's used to drinking and has developed quite a tolerance for it

Nothing wrong with a 17 year old having wine but a bottle is a lot

I know she drinks a bit. The usual of party here and there. Roughly about twice a month. But honestly she's home a lot and not a mad party animal. Also she was fine this morning. Mentioned casually today saying a bottle is too much for anyone's liver to deal with. I know if I came down heavy she'd rear up and use it as an excuse for a massive row. Worrying though.

If she drank a whole bottle and didn't seem drunk or have a hangover then she's drinking way more than you think.
You need to have a word.
It's expensive, bad for her and if she's drinking heavily it could become a very unhealthy habit.
