Why has no-one recommended an alcaholism support group? Really, recommend something along those lines to your mother and try to persude her to give up drinking, because, as you've said, she does have her nice moments. The very fact you've admitted that tells me that you do care about your mother. You won't admitt it, I daresay, but you really do. She won't accept the suggestion she needs help, but she'll realise it's an option. And the process, should it get underway, will be very, very, difficult. Are you a member of a local faith? Synagogs, Mosques and Churches would all be happy to help, if you ask after help for alcoholics.
Expect more battles.
