Everyone is different. My mother didn't raise me and then expected me to take care of her while she drinks and takes prescription drugs. I said no. But I felt no obligation to her either, so I don't know if it would be different if I had that connection that kids are supposed to have with parents. From my experience though, telling her what I had been thinking all these years and then setting a boundary (I will not buy you alcohol or drink with you) was enough for her not to want contact with me so it worked out. But I was ready to continue contact with those boundaries in place.
