"I wonder if all the booze and pills had something to do with it."

Some doctors would tell you her history of addiction to alcohol and pills has a great deal to do with her condition. I've heard more than one doc use the phrase "alcoholic dementia" when referring to similar patients.

They know alcohol destroys brain cells so at a certain point, that makes a lot of sense.

Exactly!

Should we see similar concerns for Ozzie Osborne's dementia?

She's baked her brain for 50 years. Isn't it irresponsible if we act like there is no connection between a lifetime of boozing and dementia?

Certainly many experience it without ever having abused those things, but there is no doubt that alcohol is a brain killer.
