Why do I feel I always need to be better, but drink and wallow in my sorrows?
I live with my older sister who I feel I have to find a notch up on her and I can't feel comfortable around. I have worn out my welcome with her. She pays for my rent she pays for my food. I am trapped.

Because you allow yourself to feel trapped. Don't. You need strength to work through life's curve-balls.

You should talk with her face to face. You say to her" Don't worry me. I need your help but please let me try to manage my life"

I don't know enough about your circumstances to comment sensibly. You need to be independent of your sister but something seems to be holding you back.

lgirl it is now a sad world where society looks down upon us whan we are in need ...we cant all function and comply to this chaotic and toxic world...
tell your sister how grateful you are to her and repay her with housework or cooking her meals or whatever she made need
if you cant get work volunteer.... there are many organisations that need help...
this will give you a sense of worth and your sister may look upon you more kindly

This question answers itself. If you had no burning need "to be better" you wouldn't be driven to find comfort in drink. Drink is escape. If you were comfortable within yourself as you are, you'd have no need to escape.
