Friend is a nightmare drunk

[Flirtygurty85]

One of my friends often drinks so much she can't rememer her actions on the previous night.
There have been several occasions where she has gotten drunk and behaved really badly
This has happened again recently on a friend's birthday night out highlights included jumping out of a car on a busy road, screaming at several of our group and being asked to leave a pub, Insulting every one, having to be taken home early, being barred from another pub, fighting a doorman.
We are all meant to be going away in a few months abroad for a friend's hen do, im really don't want to go now as I can't be associated with this sort of behaviour.
She has apologised to everyone involved but I feel she has finally over stepped the mark, I'm not sure the best course of action, I had thought in future to take my car if she is out with the group and leave if the behaviour started up?
She has had a terrible childhood and in my opinion she drinks to block things out, however she refuses to get help such as counselling or stop drinking.
I'm not sure what else I can do, surely this isn't normal behaviour?
She's 41 and I feel it's time she took responsibility for her actions. Advice on how to handle this please

Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is to either stop associating with her on any occasions where alcohol is present, or put up with it.

My FWB has had similar recently. A long time friend of his, 30yr+ friendship. They had been colleagues. There was a group of 4 of them, regular lads weekends away, mainly centered around a sport they all follow.

Ex colleague took early retirement 5 years ago and has basically started drinking himself to death since then.

Things came to a head on one of their boys trips this summer when he got so drunk that he shit himself in the bathroom of their shared hotel room and then refused to take part in any daytime activities as he was either nursing his hangover or drinking some more.

They basically tried an intervention and told him they were so worried about him but he had to stop drinking because they could see it was killing him. Unfortunately he just decided to completely cut them off. He caught an early flight home and hasn't spoken to any of them since.

oh yeh, you're way too old for that, and I don't mean that meanly but on a pre-wedding holiday you don't want that.

I'd tell her straight, you're drinking too much, it's more than you can handle.
