what would you do if your best friend is on a path of self destruction and won't listen to you when you try to talk to her about it? she binge drinks, parties and gets totally trashed 4-5 nights out of the week, does X and 'shrooms while drinking, drives drunk, goes to random guy's houses, and has few goals in her life other than "maybe have kids and maybe get married and maybe one day go to college". Her life consists of partying most nights of the week, and that is it. I love her to death and very concerned that she is going to self destruct sooner or later if she keeps on this path. She won't listen when I try to talk to her and her family doesnt help (they are out of the picture) and all her other friends encourage this harmful behavior.how can I help her?

it's very hard to do as she's unlikely to listen to people who tell her she has a problem with substance abuse until she bottoms out. If you pressure her to cut back she might just start avoiding you / not trusting you. The best thing to do is be there, try to take the initiative and do things with her that are positive (movies, whatever really) and don't involve drinking/drugs.
