Sounds like there's cause for concern. It's hard to diagnose someone else's drinking. Some people overdrink situationally, because of depression or personal problems.

You've expressed your concern to her, so until she's ready to quit you've done about all you can do.

If this is affecting you and your life, Al-Anon is a great resource, as are these boards. The bottom line is that only the drinker can decide to quit drinking. Denial is what makes it difficult to get through to the drinker. NOBODY wants to accept that he or she is an alcoholic.
