Monster is right about setting boundaries ... sisteranonymous calls at three am because you answer the phone.

Express your concern, certainly, but set those limits!

Talking to a drunk isn't typically productive. Try to call her when you have an expectation of sobriety. If she calls drunk, tell her you'll talk when she sobers up. If she calls drunk and threatens suicide, send the cops to her house.
