I'm beginning to get very worried about my mum, but i'm not sure if I'm overreacting so some advice would be great.

My mum has always quite liked her drink, as has my dad. My mum & dad have always had a few drinks together & I know my dad is okay with it but I'm getting concerned about my mum
My mum within the last few months has been drinking quite a lot.
She drinks every single night, to the point where she gets really drunk, hits a high or just collapses into bed practically.

Tonight I came home from my bf's to find that she had drunk alot. I tried asking dad but he was no help. So I went to check on mum (who was already in bed) and gave her a hug and asked her if she were drunk, I then asked if she drank x amount of alcohol (which was way too much for pleasurable drinking, she had wayyy too much tonight) and she was very unconvicing & stank of alcohol. I gave her another cuddle and let her go to sleep.


But seriously, I'm really concerned. I mean I think shes drinking to cope. I think she isn't very happy with her life, and also her aunt is dying of cancer which seems to be deeply upsetting her but she has been drinking heavily most nights for many many months & I just dont know what to do as dad doesnt seem to notice.
I love her to pieces but I'm kind of the same right now & drinking to cope..

What do I do? Am I overreacting? She gets drunk way too often
I asked her lately why she drinks so much and she shrugs and says "there's nothing else to do". But I really don't think thats why.

Im leaving for uni in a month and am so scared to leave her We were both crying the other night about leaving & she was drinking and I just don't wanna lose her..We think my great aunt is dying due to drink also..

Sorry for long post..
