I apologize if this ends up being a bit long, but please read and help me if you can. My sister who is 28, is an alcoholic. If you said that to her, she'd deny it and up until two or three years ago, I wouldn't have taken it seriously either.
She very much enjoys getting drunk. Not buzzed, not lightly drunk, but downright falling down, yelling profanities in public, calling people at 4:00 in the morning drunk. She feels that drinking is the only way to have fun, but she has no control and doesn't see the importance of doing things in moderation.
I HATE being around her when she's drunk. So does our mom and she makes both of our parents worry about her alcoholism. I get sick of her doing that to them and I wish she could see what her drinking causes/can cause.
I don't drink at all. I feel that alcohol is poison and although I don't think having a beer or two is a problem, I just rather not have any part of it. I may sound like a dork, but if you've been through what I have, you might feel the same way. Also, I don't see how drinking is so much fun. You act like an idiot, you embarrass yourself and the people you're with, you can offend and even hurt people, you do damage to your body, and you feel like death the next day.
My sister had a bachelorette party this past weekend and it was a total disaster in my opinion. She got drunk Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and more so Saturday night. I'm sorry, but I'm ashamed of the way she acted. Between acting like a total moron and mistreating those who went through trouble to make her party great, including myself, she was awful. If I could go back to Thursday night, I wouldn't have gone. I REALLY didn't want to go in the first place, but I knew she was counting on me. Strangely, SHE ended up being the one to let ME down.
Friday night, we were at a restaurant and she came over and sat in my lap like a child. When she stood up, she almost fell back in my lap which would have caused an injury do to the way I was sitting. Then, although she was joking, she started yelling at one of her friends, "Ali, f (link)

There is nothing you can do because the only person who can change your sister's behaviour is your sister. The only thing that you can do is cut your sister out of your life before you have children so that they do not have to be around an alcoholic.
Moi don't think you will ever turn to alcohol for comfort or to have a good time because you have seen firsthand that alcohol does not really comfort anyone or make things more fun - in reality it creates chaos.
Moi will pray for your sister. Moi also suggests that you take a long bath and treat yourself to a nice dinner and dessert after everything you have been through.
Au revoir,
Miss Piggy
