I didn't get the impression the mother was under the influence at all. She sounded like she'd been crying heavily and was "holding her breath" while talking (forgetting to exhale, just talk-inhale-talk-inhale), which I've done when I've been really upset and trying to tell a story. I don't know how else to explain it. (?)
About the beer...it was his twin sister who said he'd had a few sips of beer. Doesn't mean anyone gave him beer. My first thought was he'd snuck a beer out of someone's cooler. I can totally see a 12 year old boy doing that.
