This is a good suggestion. Since you know exactly when she is driving drunk, you have every right to notify the police about this. They can sort of patrol the area and even fine her for driving while intoxicated so that it might make her think about her actions...or even worse...get her license taken away so she cant' drive. No one should be entitled to drunk driving no matter who they are b/c the results can be disasterous. I've worked for 5 years doing hospital work and direct patient care so I have seen what can happen.

Take care~
