Toxic friend… time to walk away?

I’ll start this by saying I have very few friends, I could count them on one hand and I spend nearly all time outside of work alone.

I see this friend occasionally, when I do there is always alcohol and one or both of us gets into a state, this time she was worse.
she had an argument with her boyfriend, this turned into screaming,shouting,causing a scene with everyone else unlucky enough to be close and her pushing me and calling me a c* when trying to help.
i can’t deal with this anymore, I’ve decided not to drink anymore (have said this previously but am now completely serious) but how do I deal with her? Every situation is about her,her thoughts,her feelings,her drama and I’m basically tagging along for the ride and when calling her out on her behaviour I’m suddenly to blame or am unsympathetic/over reacting.

how do you cut people off when you know you will now be almost completely alone?. AIBU to continue to put up with this?

I have a similar friend. I don't get into social situations with her anymore. Your friend won't change.

she has a habit of playing the victim so I just know I will end up feeling like it’s my fault somehow.
