re: What do you do when grounding doesn't work?

Not sure how elaborate the homecoming dance is, but would he be able to actually work the dance? Help maintaining any food/drinks, helping clean up, stuff like that under supervision of staff or something?
He absolutely should not be allowed to go to the dance in any social sense. Reimburse the girl for all of her dress and accessories.

No it's not. He made a commitment to the girl he invited, and her parents have likely invested money to get her there. It's a pretty big deal to have your date back out the Monday before the dance. This is showing him that he made a promise to her, and he needs to keep it.
He can do pictures, dinner, dance, then get his butt home. His date can go to the after party (that's all they care about anyway). He will feel stupid. She will still have fun.
Oh horse shite! No way should that kid get to go to Homecoming! As others have stated his date's expenses, etc. should not factor into the equation. She could probably go with some friends or possibly even find another date.
I would hope that if the girl's parents are decent they would rather their daughter not attend the dance with a 15-yr old degenerate that obviously has no respect for his parents, rules, or anything else.

15 year old boys loathe getting dressed up, and they certainly don't care one bit about the dance. In fact, many kids don't even go to the dances anymore.
They care about the after party. Making him go to the dance but skip the fun part IS the punishment.

This is a lot to unpack. Sounds like he's never been disciplined before this in his life. I'd schedule some individual and family counseling asap to keep him out of prison.
ETA: There would no homecoming and nothing except school and chores if this was up to me. There needs to be consequences to bad decisions.

Show your kid this thread, make him read every post, and then do a book report on what he has learned.

If grounding and regular beatings aren’t working, your remaining options are military boarding school, or just drive him to another state, pull over the car, and say ‘Get out’.

Can 15 year olds drive legally in your state? How was he going to get to the prom?
If this was addressed above and I missed it, I apologize.
BUT what about the legal ramifications of his serving alcohol to minors in your home? Anyone killed DUI on the way home and you and your son could have lost your home to law suits.
Kid may still think it was cool. The alcohol bit should have him grounded for months IMO.
How did parents of the other kids take it? Did you check for photos on line? They are probably there.
I think the party was far, far worse and irresponsible and dangerous and coming from a kid just off of a mild suspension.
And, no, you can't get him off by pleading "affluenza"

Get on this website and get flyers and info from several of these military schools. Leave them out on the counter and when he sees them, he’ll either change his behavior or you can call his bluff.

Work, take all that he enjoys away. Phone, tv, laptop. Make him do things around the house or neighbors. Sounds like most teenagers.

have a 15 year old son who just got off of a 6 week grounding for stealing our car, egging houses, ruining the paint job on his brother's car.
Take him to a rehab or an AA group.
Make him listen for an hour.
Rinse and repeat a couple of times.

Do what I did......Graduate him, take him to the nearest Navy Recruiting station and sign him up. Six years later, the misfit came back a man ......

Beat dat azz!
Which reminds me of my favorite Dad-ism.
Whenever I had an especially imbacillic moment which put me squarely into the “Danger Zone”, his favorite teaching moment involved looking me dead in the eyes and raising his right fist while asking me “ Do you want 6 months in the hospital? Immediately followed by raising his left fist while uttering “ or instant Death?”
Never failed to straighten me up while also making us both smile (albeit mine being slightly fearful if he might mean it this time. )
Damn I miss that man. :(

There is obviously alot going on with the kid and there is some underlying issues there that definitely need tending to.
bullshite. He's doing teen things. Sorry not every kid is going to be poindexter. Some like to live on the edge. There's no harm in that.
I should be dead a million times over as a teen into my 20s because I didn't give a frick. I was invincible. Truly I was. I never got addicted to drugs but I did alot of stupid shite that cost myself alot of money. I had fun and that's all that mattered at the time. No ragerts.

Doesn't mean they can't behave.

And some of those go over. There most definitely can be harm in it to themselves and/or others in some form or fashion.

Sounds more like you were lucky.

Hopefully it was just you that had to deal with the cost.

Short sighted, all the same.
Youth is sometimes wasted on the young. It can explain bad behavior; it doesn't excuse it.
