if i were you i would just try to talk to her... i mean in order for someone to quit they have to have the want to to quit... so the only thing you really can do is talk to her about the way you feel about her drinking... hope i helped!

She'll get over it. I'm guessing this was the first time she had alcohol? She thinks drinking's "cool" at the moment. She'll either forget about it after a while or get really drunk, do something she regrets and/or feel like absolute crap in the morning and learn the hard way. Until one of those happens there's probably not a lot you can do.
If it makes you feel any better I'll tell you my drinking story (and if you don't like my other advice you can always scare your friend a bit with it). A while ago I drank 2 or 3 bottles (I'm not clear on the exact amount) of homemade wine. I ended up lying on my friend's patio, soaked with water (the water was there to clean up the vomit), barely able to move and completely unable to control my bladder. I haven't touched wine since the day I peed on my mobile phone.
Hope I helped.

Get rid of the beer so she'll stop drinking or hide it in a good place where she won't even imagine that you could of put the beer on that place.Tell her about the consequences of drinking beer,try convincing her to drink soda or water,get others to help you out if necessary.Good luck!

You need to scare her.Tell her all the consenquences of drinking at such a young age.She could get brain cancer!She could even lose her virginity or have sex with a guy and not know untill 5 months pass by and she finds her stomache big!People that drink a lot have really scary flashbacks and can think that they are talking to someone and nobodys actually there.Shes going to ruin her life.Advice her with this or even talk to her parents!She might get mad at you but at least youre being a true best freind.Tell them that your worried about her and that she drinks way too much.IF that dont work either then quit trying to help.You did what you had to do as a freind and she didnt accept your help so its her loss.

hey, don't be worried. it's normal for someone to feel "cool" after drinking the first time. she's not technically drinking... a half bottle of beer is, excuse me, not enough to get anyone near drunk. if it's her parents, they know that they have to control it and all that so don't be concerned unless she starts going to parties and drinking more that 3 beers there. if you need anything else, let me know! <3

Just tell her you are scared that it might give out on her and tell her if the police catch her than she is history and that you do not want that to happen to her.TELL HER TELL HER HOW YOU FEEL.

hey my friend is 14 and she drinks on holidays like the fourth of july and new years but talks about how wonderful it is all year long. yes it's very annoying and it scares me to death because she has history of alcohalism in her family and yes it's scary. i understand that youre worried about her but it's hard to convince someone to stop drinking when they are fascinated with themselves for doing it. all i can tell you to do is ignore her when she's talking about alcohal. she probably doesn't even believe that alcohal is so amazing, she just has to tell everyone in order to believe herself. she'll get it that no one is interested that she drank all that beer and give up on her bragging. as for giving up her drinking, please understand that it is her choice on what she does and doesnt do. yes, drinking is going to get her into trouble. she may try and convince you to drink too since you are her best friend. but you need to explain that you don't want to and won't want to anytime soon, and maybe letting her know that it bothers you that she drinks/drank wouldn't hurt too! hope i could help you & good luck
love always
xoxo amanda
