Re:need info on psychotic events due to mixing pres. drugs with Alcohol

You or her DR need to intervene, perhaps set up an intervention with friends and family as well.
The only other option would be to tell all the bars she frequents that she is on prescription medicine and is not allowed to drink therefore once they are informed of this then they are responsible for her actions (every state has a tort code for this regarding NEGLIGENCE on their part)
It regards their Liability for injury or damage resulting from her intoxication . It is illegal to knowingly serve a person habitually addicted to the use of any or all alcoholic beverages or is mixing it with prescription drugs that forbid alcohol and thus they may become liable for injury or damage caused by or resulting from the intoxication. If the clubs realize their responsibility they will no longer risk serving her.
If they give you trouble remind them of the Liquor control board and their license if they don't comply.

Try to get her used to drinking juices and virgin daquaries, or coffee or even going out to coffee houses/cafes if that doesn't interfere with the meds. Once a person gets used to other forms of drinks at a bar (or cafe) it becomes ,more comfortable and habitual not to drink. The alchoholic boyfriend isn't helping and if he loved your Mom he would join in cleaning up his life (give him the ole time to grow up and be a man speach, maybe that will work, if not take him around to see what alchohol abuse does by showing him the shelters and the homeless and that tangible portrait will stick to his mind when he decides what to do with his and her life.

Good luck with however you handle your situation!
