If it bothers you, talk to her about it!
Otherwise, a therapist doesn't necessarily have to follow what they tell their clients to do - if they dont think they have a problem or whatever, then they're not really bound by the same "rules" they might set for their clients. What bothers you about her telling you not to drink, and the fact she was drinking? Do YOU think you're seeing a substance abuse T because you feel you have a problem? Or do you think you don't have a problem? I know its sometimes unsettling to see a therapist outside of the therapy context as well.

I agree. Talk to her. I would be interested in hearing how it works out too. Bottom line, you go to this T to get help with your problem, and it is easy to look for excuses such as that she was drinking. Don't let anything stop you from making the changes that are best for you. If you aren't okay with that she drinks (are you sure it was her, and not her evil twin?), you can ask for a different T.

 It's not that you want to talk about her drinking, but about how you felt about it and the anxiety it is causing you.
