There are different factors for how the alcohol can effect the brain. For example, how much and how often she drank, the age she began drinking and how long she was drinking for, whether there was a family history of alcoholism, genetic history, and her general health status. As the amount of alcohol consumed increases, so does its effects on the brain. Especially those parts storing memory and motor function.
