It's really hard to watch someone destroying their lives with alcohol, but until they're really ready to admit they have a problem and seek help, there really isn't much you can do.

You can try to be supportive by taking her out to non-alcoholic events adn showing her it's possible to have fun without drinking, you can try to keep encouraging her to think about getting help. You can also set boundaries like refusing to talk to her if she's been drinking.

Have you thought about checking out an alanon meeting. It's a support group for friends and families of alcoholics, and I've heard really good things about it.

Good luck.
