Welcome, lots of good advice, here.

If you choose to, you could probably get a restraining order requiring her to leave the home. Destruction of property and violent behavior is domestic violence.

It doesn't sound like she's had the opportunity to experience the natural consequences of her drinking behavior. You can start by allowing that to happen.

I strongly suggest that you get yourself to Al-Anon. It will give you a lot of strength to do what is best for yourself, because, as has been pointed out, what you can do for her is limited.
