I think you should lay it on the line with mom to control herself or: a) you leave her place with kids; b) she will be told to leave your place. Just make it a rule for her and that way she knows that when with you as in so many situations, no getting blotto. That should minimize it, and otherwise she sounds OK - the kids love her.
You are going to need to talk with your own children about drugs & alcohol at some time anyway. Their best example will be you. And you can demystify it as an issue that just affects a lot of people close to any of us, and that one has to make choices around.
