Problem's not sleep: A person who is out drinking then taking sleeping pills to sleep isn't having problems with sleep; it's a problem with alcohol. She needs professional help with her drinking. Have her see her doctor as soon as possible.

Very dangerous: One should never mix alcohol and sleeping pills. There have been many high-profile people who have done that in the last several years who are no longer with us. A frank discussion about the risks with your daughter is indicated. Mixing sleeping pills and alcohol is extremely dangerous.
