What do you do when grounding doesn't work?

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.
Two weeks after last day of grounding, he's busted for hosting a party in our absence and plowing through significant amounts of alcohol. Clearly grounding isn't working. This weekend is homecoming and my first instinct is to yank it away, but I don't want to punish the poor girl who has the dress, has the shoes, and is looking forward to the dance.
What have you all tried that was fair and effective?

Grounding is a lot like the time out group, both don’t work.

Cut off all sources of fun.
Make him work.
Doesn’t meet the standards? Cut him off.
Tough spot because he’s headed down a dangerous patb

Did you spank him when he was younger?

Take his phone and electronics

Sounds like he is going to be a criminal. Military school directly to the military at 18. Or he will end up in a prison one day.

Don't allow him to leave your side. You drop him off at dance and pick him up. No after parties.
Also, take his phone away. This is the most effective punishment in 2023.

Threaten to send him to boarding or military school.

You’ve recognized that taking away privileges isn’t working. I would explore other options of discipline.
At that age, he needs some guidance and direction. He seems to be rebelling against the structures and boundaries placed in his life.
It’s not an easy solution and I can’t give much advice because I don’t know you or your kid. But I can guarantee taking away homecoming will not lead to any better behavior in the future. In fact, it might exacerbate the issues.

I know it will burst the OT hivemind, but spanking is not some cure all with perfect results for having well behaved kids.
I'm not anti spanking at all, but I've seen it work and not work, even within the same household.

Threaten to cut of his wiener if his rebellious behavior continues.

Tighten-up on his little punk arse.
Don’t leave alcohol near him. Don’t let him have access to your house when you’re out of town. Know where he’s at and who he’s with and what he’s doing at all times, or else his little bad arse self can sit at home with y’all, but with no electronics.

Oh man, that sounds like a nightmare.
Don't be weak.
