My roommate is a drunken wreck!!!

Wow. I know that life is tough and I probably should give her a break seeing that her uncle is about to die of tumors on his liver, and kidney failure, but why does that make her think she has the right to drink and make my life misserable? I know that it may seem a little insensative for me to be this way, but its like every little problem that she has, it makes it ok for her to drink. Maybe not even a problem, but a good event as well. She was asked out on a date, and she drank saying that she was excited to know that someone wanted to date her. Then she felt like she was not worth anything and decided that she did not want to date, so she turned to drinking. She gets depressed and says, "I need a drink, and I will drink because I can". Then I sit next to her and listen to her problems because I am concerned. Then she gets angry with me because I ask her the next day if she feels better. Her exact words are, "why do you care?" So lately I have tried to avoid her while she drinks, and that has worked out somewhat, but this week was very hard for her. As I stated, her uncle has problems, and I stayed to listen because I really do care about people. I know that sometimes people need an ear to bend. What in the world should I do? I am a christian man who has tried to have conversations with her about hope and faith, but she hates god right now saying that he is taking her "father" who is a good man, when he should take her dad, who she says is worthless. I know that she is venting, and has to let it out but what do I need to do to make it a peaceful environment? This is the same roommate who was trying to kick me out because I said that my felony is holding me back from getting a job. I still want to be there to help her through these trying times, but my life is getting more and more difficult to deal with. I thank you for any advice. Have a great day. :{
