Doctor-Patient Confidentiality ends whenever a LAW is broken - so in this case, you should be fine...
Underage drinking is only a crime to those who PROVIDE the alcohol - and besides, we've ALL done something like that before in our pasts ;););););)

No you are protected by the doctor-patient confidentiality law. The only way she can repeat what you say is if your life is in danger.

No, conversations between you and your doctor are private.
