My mother is currently suffering from it. It is likely that when possible, she'll go and get more alcohol. She doesn't want to go to the hospital (and it's not like law can force her to in less than a month). The question is what's your guess on when she will die. I'm suffering from sleep deprivation because of her, besides the smell outside of my room is absolutely disgusting. The only solution to it is either she dies, or she falls unconscious (allowing my father to call an ambulance). By the way, I'm not sure when it started but probably around 20h ago.
