I will feel bad when something bad happens to her but it isn't going to be something like getting into a car crash or anything like that. At least she is very responsible as far as that is concerned and never drives when drinking. I guess there is still some sensibility in there after all. What does end up happening to her on a regular basis though is drunk injury. She will fall or slip or something and then break a bone and one time she was out of the country for an interview for a really good job, got drunk, slipped on a stairway to a subway, the face-planted and gave herself a couple of wonderful shiners and a broken nose.
No matter how you try to spin this at the interview, this is a bad omen and nobody is going to hire someone that comes in looking like that, no matter how well qualified they are. Another time she broke her ankle dancing at a wedding. When I say "dancing" I mean behaving like an idiot. At that point the wedding sort of became about her and that was just awful. i was there. We were moving to get her out of there because she was ruining other people's special day. As far as I know that married couple no longer speaks to her.
That is the rock bottom that she is going to have to hit. I think she is 75% of the way there already.
