Just because she comes home trashed on the weekends doesn't mean that she's an alcoholic; your average alcoholic tends to drink a bit more regularly than that. Her rebellion most likely stems from a desire for freedom. She's young, and perhaps she'd like to take the opportunity to make mistakes and to cultivate an identity for herself? Maybe she'd even welcome being evicted? If I were her brother, I'd ask 1.) whether or not she believes that this is a phase and 2.) whether she thinks that she should move out on her own volition.

But inanta's absolutely fearless for coming home trashed. Oh my god, I wouldn't even have the gall to come home smelling like cigarettes.

Well, she isn't white. They come with a huge tolerance towards alcohol from birth it seems. Somalis aren't built to drink alcohol, they just aren't.

I really don't believe that Somalis are more sensitive to the effects of alcohol.

THIS might work ; just show her this video than she'll know the consequences of alcohol

raise money to send her back home to miyiga, that'll straighten her out

Look at it from a hereditary standpoint. Whites have drank forever. Somalis haven't.

That's what happens when all you hang out is with cadaans who'll only accept you if you become one of them

non natural drinkers drink to avoid personal problems, her brother should find out what bothers her and help her solve it.

Interesting perspective, she may be simply a social drinker and her should not have alcoholism labelled against her.

most of these somalis drink with empty stomach..they also don't know their limit. The cadaans eat food.. food slows the absorption of alchohol into the blood stream.

I have friends that drink occasionally..and you can hardly tell when they are drunk..wallhi they act normal...except that they are more extroverted than when they are sober.

The problem with most somali parents is they just expect their children to behave well and turn out to be good people with poor parenting skills.; Shouting, beating and habaar.
Her parents should try to use other methods instead of beating her up every night, clearly it doesn't work.

but who knows they might have already tried to talk to her in a calm manner, i think one solution that could work is send her back to somalia and hope she somehow grows up.

whether she drinks a whole bottle of alcohol or just takes a sip is the same to me, drunk=drunk!!

i noticed a trend about the somali kids in qurbaha that gone astray nearly all seem to be raised with too much suuro and so they start rebelling when they dont get what they want and as a result they slowly drift off for good
