Have you talked to your sister about how she is treating her kids? Obviously the drinking is a problem and is causing her to be abusive. You should talk to other family members about what is going on and plan an intervention for your sister. Get her to get into a rehab and then AA, while she is rehab offer to take care of your neice. If she refuses to go to rehab, then maybe you should call CPS and have a family member take her daughter while she gets her life together.

Talk to your sister first. Let her know that she either sobers up, or she will loose her daughter. You don't have to tell her that you will do anything, but let her know that there are people at schools, day care, play groups, pre-school, or where ever she takes her daughter that will notice the abuse. There are other signs of abuse than bruising, like behavior patterns, certain words or phrases, actions, hitting other kids, to name a few.
Give her some time, then go back to see if there is any change. If not, call the law, social services, family counselors, or whoever it takes until you get someone to listen. Petition the courts to place the child in your care while your sister dries out. Make sure that she gets enrolled in a reputable program or center. When she has met the courts ruling, she can take it back to court to get her child back.
I'm sure that you love your sister, but the child is the important one here. If and when she sobers up, she will probably thank you for it. She will know that you only were doing what you thought was best, and what was in the child's best interest.

Either go and get your niece out of there or call child abuse hotline and let them investigate and do what needs to be done. Sounds like you love the child so get her to safety whatever means you have to take to do it and you can make a hotline call and not have to leave a name.

You should go and talk to your sister, and tell her that you are taking her kids until she gets herself together. If you can not afford to take these girls call welfare and tell them what is happening in the house and they should be able to send someone out.
Hope this helps a little.
