HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that the alcohol is having an effect on her vocal cords, it can cause dangerous changes that eventually become cancerous.
It is also possible that the hoarseness if related to a more benign reason such as post nasal drip, cough/cold, severe reflux, excess use of voice.
It would be in her best interest to see her doctor. It may also be best that she sees a counsellor to help her to decrease her alcohol use.
I hope this helps
