16 with an adult sized drinking problem
Recently I went to a dinner with my mom and sister that had a whole bunch of my relatives. My cousin Emily is 16, but she looks way older. Anyways, since she looks older, the waiter automatically served her wine. She had a lot of it. Turns out she drinks a lot. What should I do? She lives with her dad and I don't know where. That could have been the last time I've seen her

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
Have quiet time with her and explain to her what the drinking problem could do to her physically and mentally. Tell her if she doesn't start cutting down she'll spend most of her time and perhaps life in the hospital. Give her the support and love she needs help her go through the problems and be always there for her.

16 year olds and sometimes even younger people can indeed be alcoholics. I think you should mention it to your mom (if you haven't already) and let her deal with it. She will know who to contact in the family to get her help. :)

AA. Seriosly. its the only way she has a sicness and needs help. That or bust the waiter for surving her wine! Write a letter (Dont put your name) to the owner saying that a waiter (if you know the waiters name put it in there) surved wine to an under age drinker. They should get in trouble!

Hmm? Well its enough that you care. You can ask your mom who she is and her number or somthing, and you can help her that way and talk to her about drinking problems. Alcohol is a drug and you can become addicted to it. Alcohol changes the way your mind and your body work. Even 1 beer can slow your reactions and confuse your thinking. This means anything that requires concentration and coordination, like driving, is dangerous when you've had a drink.
Alcohol also changes the way you act. It can make you let go of the feelings that keep you from doing things you know are risky or dangerous. This can lead you to make bad decisions, like having unsafe sex or driving when you know you shouldn't. You might think that it won't happen to you, but everyone knows someone who has said that and then ended up hurt.
Make her aware of the situation hope my information helped!!
