Mom found my alcohol?!
I had a water bottle filled with vodka in my room from last weekend and I think my mom found it because I dont know where it is, she told me she needed to talk to me when she got home from work and I think that that is what it is about, what can i say to make her think that it isnt mine!? Im 16 and as far as my parents are concerned have never done anything bad!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ok heres the deal!. People mess up!. DONT LIE IT'LL ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE!!! Just face the music and tell your mom it was yours!. She will admire you for being truthful and thats how you build up trust with your parents at such a trying age!. Take it from me, i've been down that dusty trail before!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Okay I have an idea!.!.!.This is some straight degrassi **** too so be ready to have your mind blown!.!.
Tell your mom that some kid at school was selling water bottles full of vodka to for kids to buy to go to some football game or dance that was recently held (or you could even say it was a while ago)!. Tell her that you knew it was wrong, and you didn't want to drink, but all of your friends were buying them and peer pressured you into buying one also!. You figured that to save face in front of your friends, you would buy one!. But then you decided to stash it in your room and bring with you a bottle filled with only water, as to not consume any alcohol yourself and also to keep a sober eye on your friends!. Tell her then that, coincidentally, all of your friends decided to do the same thing, and you all showed up to the game/dance/party with water bottles filled with not vodka, but pure water! Then you all had a good laugh about how silly you were to even think about underage drinking! Assure her that you are drug and alcohol free!. Bonus points if you use the term "the way to be" or make any mention of your "antidrug" in the conversation!.
If you don't think that elaborate-yet-genius story will work, just be honest!. And make sure to use the one thing that you have going for you: the vodka was in the water bottle, NOT in your belly!. That's gotta count for something, right!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Be honest with your mother and talk to her as an adult!. She will be upset and concerned for your welbeing!. Accept what she says is to protect you from harm!. Don't get upset by this, it's because she cares so much that she will need to talk to you about this!. Remember to stay quiet and calm whilst she says what all us mothers would do in these circumstances and work out a solution that will satisfy you both!.
Behaving as an adult will gain you respect so that you will be treated as one!. Remember, some mums may not care! Good Luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Let's look at this like a judge would!. If you were before a judge, you'd keep your ears open and your mouth shut, right!? Remember, you've got a clean respectable background and this is your first offense!. Tell the truth, admit your crime and plead for mercy!. (It takes too much effort to keep your stories straight once you start lying) With any luck, you'll get a penalty and probation!. Or have your cell phone taken away and be grounded!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
if it was completely full then say you stole it from one of your friends so they wouldn't drink it, and you intended to throw it out!.!.!.
if not, !.!. i'd just bank on the fact that you haven't given them any reason to question your responsibility!.!. and you're not an idiot about drinking alcoholWww@FoodAQ@Com

your best bet is to be truthful!. your parents were once 16 as well, so most likely they can tell if you are lying!.!. the worst thing you can do is break your parents trust by lying to them!. they will take note of your honesty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Um, don't drink vodka!? Clearly you're not drinking it for the taste if you're keeping it in your room in a water bottle so what is the point!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Face the music!. Your mother cares enough about you to preach to you the dangers of alcohol!. Listen to her, and let her wisdom guide you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
you can tell her that your doing a project in science and that the teacher requires mixing alchohol with some other chemical substance and its gonna be a reallie big part of your grade!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Just tell your mom that the bottle she found is ur friend's!. Your friend came over one day and left it there unintentionally!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Thanks for throwing that gross old water away for me mom!. I didn't want to touch it because it smelled like vodka!. Oh no i've been found out! GASP!Www@FoodAQ@Com
I recently told my mom I drink, she didn't like it at all, but she didn't say anything, I just left it like that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Dont lie!. Tell them it was yours!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I grew up in Europe (military brat) and my first experience with alcohol was around 14 years old when some of my friends and I went out to a bar and we were served drinks, everything was fine until we got back to my friends house and his mom gave us a verbal bashing before we went to bed!. Before we all left the next day, she left it up to us whether or not to tell our parents (kind of felt like a guilt trip)!. I went home and because I was pretty hung over and smelled of cigarette smoke and boozed my mom figured me out pretty quickly!.
Long story short, my parents sat me down and we had a very civil discussion about what took place, why I drank (my decision or peer pressure), how I felt etc!.!.!.!.!. What came out of it though was a more trusting relationship between my parents and I!.
From 16+ I went out to clubs/bars quite often but have always been very responsible about it!. It wasn't until I came back to the US for college did I realize how out of hand or stupid a lot of teenagers can be when I comes to drinking!. I know this is a little bit long winded, but I would say if you can explain to your parents why you have the vodka in a water bottle and they don't go bizurk, then I thnik you have a good opportunity to be very humble and lay the ground work in taking the next step in your relationship with your parents as far as trust and responsibility!.
(Note: I'm sure some people on here will be outraged with some of the things above, please realize the setting and the fact that my mother was british and grew up drinking at lot younger age than 21!. My father was born/raised in nothern California at a time when the drinking age was 18!. also, I'm very proud to say that I have not let drinking get in the way of my life or had any trouble in any way with the law!.
It all comes down to individual responsibility, accountability and character)
Good luck btw!Www@FoodAQ@Com
