This situation is not serious enough to make her stop drinking. It will make her angry and she will, as Snap said, self-medicate.
For an alcoholic to stop drinking they usually do have to hit the proverbial "rock bottom". This just isn't hard enough to be rock bottom, it's just another low point for her.
