Today, I confronted my mom about her drinking problems. After I blurted everything out, she completely denied it. She did this as she was drinking a huge cup full of vodka. FML

She's in denial, but maybe if enough people that care tell her she has a problem, she'll listen.

Denial is always the hardest part to over come during an addiction :(

I know how you feel, I live with an alcoholic too. Be very persistent! It's gonna be a good while before you'll get her to admit she has a problem, let alone get help for it!! The alcoholic I live with has accepted he's an alcoholic-now he jokes about it and refuses help. -.-;

Maybe it was water, or Sprite, I like Sprite.

The cookie recipe she was baking clearly states 5-6 gallons of vodka. Not an alcoholic of she's baking you cookies

First stage is denial; get an intervention?

Best thing I can do is to suggest you find the nearest Al-anon or Alateen meeting, in hopes of sharing your experiences and maybe learning some coping strategies. It's very empowering to find out you're not alone, for starters. Good luck.

Those sound like Middle Eastern terrorist organizations... Just sayin'

From experience, they will always deny that they have a problem. All you can do is try to be there when they reach rock bottom

She's baking the cookies in her stomach? Pretty sure OP's mom drank it all.

This is a very sad situation. I feel bad for you op. if you are a teenager, it will be very hard for you to confront her on this issue. Try to get an adult relative to help you and support you.
