Calling the police is way over board and has really made her look bad to her friends. Your actions are doing considerable damage to your family. Learn to relax and let her experiment because she going to do it anyway. She not out selling her body or drugs so relax. I would be ashamed of myself for hurting her like that. Big deal she got boned up.
I think you owe her and her friends a really big IM SORRY.
This is my point of view only.

^^ Harsh but spot on.. You won't stop her unless you chain her in the basement and thats only good for what, couple weeks at a time? lol
Seriously though, supporting her would get you soooooo much more. Explain the dangers and tell her you know you can't stop her but you are there for her.. Tell her to call you for a ride home.. NEVER ride w/ drinking friends.. Offer to give her and friends a ride if need be.. Meet her half way and convince her to do the same.. Its the only real way to win.
