I was wondering the same thing, not to sound rude of course. But us alcoholics like to make up things like this to justify our drinking.
Like someone above said, she may need a friend, but I wouldn't involve your emotions if she is still actively drinking the way you describe. It will only get worse no matter what she tells you. We tell people what they want to hear and we don't care who we hurt as long as we get our fix. It is a shame that it has to happen but it is the only way that we learn, by making the same mistakes over and over.
