Drunk teen!

[RobertSmithdoesmyhair]

My DD is 18 next month. Yesterday she met up with a friend in the park- first time since lockdown. She came home drunk at 8pm after 3 hours out and got sick on her bedroom carpet!
They went to a supermarket and bought 8 cans of cider, which they drank in the park! I can't believe it!
How should I handle it? I'm in shock! She's normally fairly reserved!

Depth charges. Pint of cider with a shot glass of Pernod dropped into it - still in the glass. Lethal.

Do they still sell reef? Tasted just like orange juice. And Red Square I think was the predecessor of vodka and red bull...
Ah memory lane. I remember our student union selling half pints of baileys for £1 as they'd found a crate in the back that was out of date... had to get the train to Nottingham the next day doing little bailwys sicks in my mouth.
Anyway OP your kid will be fine. We're all still here x

These kids don’t know how good they have it with craft beers and nice gin

We had craft beers when I got very drunk had a couple at a beer festival back in the 1980s.

Martini 🤢 still can't stand the smell 30 years later

Does anyone remember Thunderbird?
I'm feeling a bit sick thinking about it!

You guys are killing me!
Any kind of shock I had about my DD had just fizzled awayyyyyyyyy!

Op you would of hated me as your daughter then. First time I got drunk was 12 on old English cider on the beach.....wasn't pleasant.

@Biscuitbiscuits

I do 🙌🏻 although we called them lungs.

We used to drink hooch, mad dogs, and woodys
We used to wait out side the corner shop and ask older kids to get them for us.

You're pretty lucky that it's the first time she has done this at 17. It's a rite of passage. I have had to pick both my kids up from parties in the past for being too badly drunk. Pre lockdown obviously and younger than 17. I never told them off because throwing up and having a headache is punishment enough. They both said sorry afterwards. Been there done that.

Terrible memories about Thunderbird...

Anyone remember cherry wkd now they were nice.

We used to put a straw over the side of in the bottle of Metz and down it. Yes very classy

@Biscuitsbiscuits @Coldemort - I bought some hooch recently, having fond memories of drunken teenage nights with my friends. OMG, the hangover! 😫 I'd forgotten that part. Never again 😇 Luckily gin doesn't give me a hangover 😊🍸

@RobertSmithdoesmyhair - just get DD to clean up and come join us in our reminiscing 😉🍺

My DC who is almost 18 (month or two) doesn't really drink very much but does have the occasional drink at home. They have asked that I put a small bottle of vodka in the weekly shop.

How lovely for her

To have some fun

You don’t need to do anything IMO

I say this as a parent of a 17 yr old

I did the same in Freshers week. Don’t worry, it’s a lesson for life.

Just remind her about not making herself vulnerable when drunk. Mine are 17 and 18 and that's my only nag.

But it sounds like she had a much needed lovely time.

Why was she out?

MyWitzEnd Are you always such a spoil sport?

Off you pop and go and rearrange your collection of cuddly toys.

Why was she out?

Because she can go out as long as she socially distances?

I was talking to my 16y year old ds about how lucky he is to have dark fruits Strongbow. I might buy some 20 20 just to make him see how we suffered!

A timely picture...

My 19 yr old got rip roaring drunk last night, none of your cider nonsense, tequila sunrises and Harvey wallbangers, he politley interupted my book club zoom to let me know he had just finished the tequila.

I have no problem with it, he has been outstanding for the last eight weeks and sucked up lockdown due to me being shielded,(or cocooned as we like to call it.) So fair is fair. IMO

@Racheyg I remember that, or sending in the tallest one of us to try and get served.

@DrDavidBanner it was the vilest drink ever. That and diamond white
