I am sorry to say I don't have an answer on how to stop your mother from drinking. I also grew up with a mother who was a heavy drinker. My father never drank and it was always a tense time when he came home and found her drunk. I and my sister hiding in our rooms to avoid her when she was like that. My parents ended up staying together until my mother passed away. We survived our child hood and moved on to be non drinking adults. I know it is rough now but you need to remember this is your parents problem not yours and someday you will move out and grow up and things wont be so rough.....
You need to realize you have NO control over this or the outcome.
That's the first thing you really need to do to help yourself.
Lets the chips fall as they may.
Hate to say it but that is an old dog and her time is limited regardless, so not much point in stressing about that either.
Hang in there, years from now you will look back and realize you had no reason to obsess about it.
As others will surely say, you cannot control anyone but yourself. They are adults and make their own decisions, for the good or bad of the entire family.

Don't feel guilty. Don't feel like you are the one responsible for saving them. Don't let their bad relationship and bad habits ruin your life.
You can continue to try to be a good daughter and not add to the stress at home. You can seek out a school counselor or trusted adult if you want someone to talk with. You can encourage your mom, tell your dad to be patient, but you must watch out for your emotional well being through this whole ordeal, come what may. You can learn from this situation and make some decisions about the kind of person that you are going to be. You need to understand that even if your mom goes into rehab, recovery is a very long and frustrating process.
If you need to talk, e-mail me or someone you know. Unfortunately, you are not the first person in this kind of situation. Sadly, it happens all the time. You will make it through this.
Here is a link that may help. It is a free 12 step program to help addicts. Not that your mom will voluntarily do it, but it will give you an idea of what has to occur for her to overcome this.
