If you are use to caffeine drink it or you'll end up with a migraine. Just drink extra water so you don't get dehydrated. I'm not sure of your age but there must be something to alchohol in small amount if you are legal age. I was given a homemade remedy with alchohol, beef fat, and lemon. It tasted good and it made me feel less weak. However if alchoholism runs in your family the old fashion chicken soup is tried and true. A person will only give up a bad habit when they are ready and willing. Your intentions are good though. If she had a substitute that her doctor recommends when she decides she's ready would be very helpful. Also has your mom ever had her sugar tested. One of the three biggest symtoms of low blood sugar is alchoholism. The other two are yawning and overeating.

The reason to drink lots of water if you have congestion is to make your mucous more fluid. That way, each cough works better so that you cough less often.
Drinking alcohol does not directly affect the fluidity of mucous, however, alcohol is a diuretic (makes you pee) and that will offset the benefit of drinking water.
Caffine is a mild diuretic and will also, to a slight extent, offset the effects of drinking water. If you are drinking a lot of caffinated drinks, they are likely to make you jittery and make sleep difficult.
If your mother is making excuses to dring alcohol, that could be an indication that she is an alcoholic.

coffee is actually dehydrating and i would only drink soda for an upset stomach. Alcohol may be a fluid but it isn't going to offer essential vitamins that you'll find in orange juice or grapefruit juice. Also, alcohol is only going to be doing more damage to your body. Also, any broth with onion and garlic is very healthy and effective for fighting off colds.
liquid meaning water. lol
they are all considered liquid..but water is the best because it flushes your body.
