text: Tell her to read the warnings that come with her prescriptions, that is enough proof there.  You can also call your pharmacist and tell what medications your mom is taking and he/she will tell you the same thing.  \n\nBelow are a few links to help you out\n\nhttp://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9807/09/alcohol.pain.killers/index.html\n\nhttp://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/Medicine/medicine.htm\n\nhttp://alcoholism.about.com/cs/heal/a/aa082097.htm\n\nhttp://www.rochester.edu/uhs/healthtopics/Alcohol/interactions.html\n\nYou mom already know what she is doing and she is aware what she is doing is wrong, she have a serious problem and she is not ready to get help.  You have to try to be strong, because your mom is hurting deep down inside, and she drinks to numb the pain.  I know the feeling.  I don't drink like that, but I know I have taken a pain pill to help me sleep when I could not or did not want to deal with issues in my life.\n\nPlease be strong and if you need someone to talk to I am here for you.
