why dont you talk to her about what you find its not your place to tell your parents......it sould be her that tells them.........i think right now she might been you as a sister and as a friend to be there for her...in what ever is bothing her to make her drink.....if you and your sister are really close and she knows that you wouldnt tell on her.............she sould be able to tell you why she is drinking........if you need help do you both have msn because i can find out why she is drinking for you

I think you should tell your parents. She will be mad but she will get over it. There are some secrets that hurt more when they are kept than when they are shared. You could talk to your sister but if she has an drinking problem she is going to lie about it. She may not even admit it to herself. If you tell your parents they will be able to keep a closer eye on her and be on the lookout for other signs. A bottle of Vodka in your drawer does not an alcoholic make. The point is YOU can't really be sure, and because alcoholism is such a serious problem your mom and dad need to know.

Confront your sister with your findings. Sounds like the two of you have a pretty good relationship where she trusts you.
Although a lot of teenagers drink, doesn't make it right for them to do. They may be quietly suffering on the inside and drinking helps them ease the pain. Find out what's going on with your sister. If she refuses to tell you or ignores it like it's no big deal, then you need to tell your parents what you found. Your sister may hate you for a while but in the long run she'll thank you for helping her not ruin her life.

If she is young I think you should let her know. I started drinking around my senoir year and I have been in so much trouble and trying to quit it really ruined my life for about 3 yrs. I am just starting to get my life back in order. If I were you I would let her know if you are her sister. You know what the right thing to do is. Because in the end they jsut end up hurting the hole family and you, obvously. Good luck and I hope I helped out a little.

Vodka is pretty hard stuff. You need to tell your parents. Or, legal gaurdians, whoever has authority over your sister. She'll be angry with you, yeah, but it's for her benefit. Stats show that teenagers under fifteen (although i don't know how old your sister is) who drink are more likely to become alchoholics when they're older.
Again, if you follow my advice, she'll be angry. But then you might try talking to her, look up siome statistics or somthing about youth and drunk drving (there are some pretty eye-opening ones) to back up your argument. She'll eventually get over it.

first things first... You seem like you are very worried about your sister. what would you do if something very bad happened to her? Could you deal with that? I know I would not be able to. I would tell her that you know about her "stash" let her get mad all she wants. But tell her you love her and that you are going to tell someone because you love her and you want her in your life. Be strong and do the right thing. Being depend on alcohol can lead to serious problems not only now but later. I know personal how much it can destroy that person and the family if they are not helped. Please help her.Later on she will thank you.

You need to talk to your parents. Let them handle the situation. You are only hurting yourself, and quite possibly your sister, by not letting your parents know about it.

Tell your parents before it gets out of hand. You will be being helpful not hurtful.
