if you are her friend, do whatever you can to help her. i wouldn't suggesst dating someone with problems like that, but ignoring her isn't a solution either.
you can never force people to admit to or correct addictions, that is something they have to come to in their own time. wht you can do to help them and try to accelerate the process of her realizing she needs and accepting help is to stay invovled and be around to offer alternate things to do instead of hanging with the scum bags and boozin.
don't make her problems the biggest priority in your life, but be aware that you can help in the litle ways that help lead people back from the brink of their own destruction.
i have been there with friends before, it is tough, but you can't let it consume you. the greatest lesson you can take from it at your age is that drinking is not a big deal, excessive drinking is.
