GH, Check out AA in your area. It's not for everyone (some people are leery due to the perceived religious aspect, you know, the higher power thing) but it's a good start. You could go with her see what its like. Alcohol is a problem when it starts to effect your day to day functioning, which includes relationships. If she won't maybe you should check out Alonon, for family members. Has she seen her doctor for depression? Alcohol and depression go hand in hand. Some people start on meds and their whole perspective changes (and they don't keep you high! They balance certain chemicals that are out of whack). Just some ideas to ponder but, yes, try and have some fun with her too! Can't hurt.
