DD's friends got drunk at school

DD told me today that on Friday, two of her friends went out at lunch and came back drunk. They have an open campus HS, so they can leave at lunch time - and mostly it's just normal stuff...get a slice of pizza, sit in the park, hang with friends. But this time her friends used this time to get drunk. Maybe they weren't as drunk as they thought, or they were pretending to be drunker than they were, because they were able to get through afternoon classes, but even still it's very upsetting. I mean they're only in 9th grade! DD is very unhappy, and thinks it's "so stupid". As her mom, I'm more worried that the peer pressure will increase and she'll think it's "what everyone does".

The two who were drinking this time are two of DD's more "straight laced" friends. That makes it even more worrisome for me.
