Does she miss much school in the first place?
I haven't been sick (or, at least seriously sick to where I would have to stay home) for about five years or even longer now. During highschool the only "extra" days I got off were when I just decided to take it off. Keep in mind I didn't take many off; we were on trimesters and at the most I took ONE day off a trimester, sometimes even less.
Just coming out from highschool, I can tell you that sometimes, well, we don't exactly accomplish much in class. I'm not suggesting that once a week or every few weeks she should be able to stay home, but a day or two a year (maybe her birthday) wouldn't be too bad in my opinion. Although, that whole alcohol aspect changes things a bit and I'd be a bit careful about that.
Also, part of the "deal" if you let her do this could be that she has to study an extra hour or two during that day since she missed school.
