What age is she, Humane, and why was she sneaking it in?
Kids who occasionally have a drink with the parents are much less likely to sneak booze in or go and get trashed under age. Look at how most of Europe fares, with the alcohol friendly policies, in comparison to the USA's 21-or-nothing policies.
I've been having a glass of red wine with Sunday dinner since I was about fourteen. I'm not an alcoholic, I drink very responsibly, and I can handle my drink quite well. Compare this with kids who've had it banned from the house and been refused near it all their lives, and you'll see that teaching a child about drinking is much better for it than refusing to let it try anything.
