My mother just recently founded out she has bleeding ulcers and on top of that she's a diabetic and she has to take at least 12 different pills a day. The problem is she drinks 3 cans of malt liquor on the weekends (which has 5.9 % of liquor in it) sometimes she even skips here meds just so she can drink. What will doing all of this do to her ?

Well you likely have 2 things going on:

1) A likely addiction to alcohol - perhaps she needs to seek treatment with a treatment center.

2) Ignoring her other health problems, including her diabetes - can't do it. Though there may be few short term issues here, ignoring bleeding ulcers and diabetes leads to severe long term issues.

It is likely that solving #1 will go a long way to solving #2.
