There's nothing you can do. You talked to her about it, but people have their own free will to make their own decisions and suffer the consequences for them. It really sucks to watch a friend destroy themselves, but you can't help it when it happens. The only suggestion I can give you is possibly telling an adult or her parents since she doesn't sound legally old enough to be drinking anyway.
I don't think she was calling you those things because she hates you though. People get bad habits like that because they hate themselves and therefore they can't stand criticism and so they often lash out at others when they are accused of being wrong because they hate themselves, not you.
Just show her love, but don't ever let her make you agree that being an alcoholic is okay. That doesn't mean bug her about it all the time, just be nice to her and show her you will be there for her if she ever does try to give it up. She'll be more motivated to want to if she can see that someone will be there to support her if she does.

Right. I think that she is more than aware that what she is doing wrong, but doesn't want to admit to others that she is developing a dependency and is struggling to stop. You need to persuade her that she can drink in moderation, but that going out and getting pissed every weekend will f**k up her liver. Does she want to end up dead before she's 40? I seriously doubt it. If you don't think you can do this alone, take a look here. They will be able to help. |

You'll just have to try and be there for her as best as you can. At the end of the day, it's her life and her liver. It's a difficult situation for you, but the fact that you obviously care about her shows that you're a good friend to have. I would have said more, but I was beaten to it. Good luck <3
