hhhmmm. well first of all when she woke up she would probably not even know she had been sick or wet herself, she would of not known where she was at all.
Something similar happened to me when i was 14 or 15 the next morning i woke up and i didn't have a clue. but you do need to be tough. id say grounding is ok but something what worked with me is making her com in a lot earlier. say for example if you let her stay out til 10 now make her be in about 8.30.

I'm a bit late on this, but I've bumoed it because I find it interesting, and relevant to my kids who are starting to experiment with alcohol.

Sound sound advice has already been given, but I'd like to add:

Always make them clean up their own mess once they are sober enough to do so, even if they feel lousy.

In the case of a girl find some shocking stories/statistics about how many girls have been raped/beaten up/murdered/inpregnated by a total stranger because they were too drunk to know what was happening to them.

Take her to A&E at 1am on a Friday night so she can see for herself what the staff have to deal with, stabbings /glassing due to drunkenness etc, and how people who have been seriously injured in car accidents or heart attack victims / convulsing babies etc are having to wait for their ambulances and treatment a bit longer than they otherwise might. Make her write a letter of apology to the head of A&E

The advert that shows a film of a girl getting ready to go out and coming home off her face and covered in vomit but shown in reverse (you wouldn't start a night like this so why end it like this?) is excellent I think.

Oh dear....that would be bumped, not bomoed.
