Homecoming Day. It should have been a highlight of 17-year old Taylor Meyer's high school career. Instead, it was the day she died, doing what she loved to do: drinking with her friends. Tonight, Liz Brunner discovers how Taylor's death exposed the extent of teen drinking in the suburbs, and triggered a controversy in her home town. And, we'll see why Taylor's mother is embarked on a mission to get teens and parents to come to grips with the problem.
