Frankly, other than by encouraging him to get professional help, you probably can't. This takes help from a pro, and you are not a pro. Your relationship will change for the worse if you try to cover for him when he is drunk - this is called enabling and does not work in the long run. It is a journey that he needs to make and the best help is a professional.

How do you get power of attorney for hospital ER records of alcohol dependent 22 year old daughter to get her help?

You probably do not. Between HIPA and the Federal confidentiality laws concerning treatment for alcohol and drug abuse, it is almost impossible to get the records without a court order. You would need a lawyer. Have you spoken to a mental health professional about this? There are other ways to get her into treatment. Call a local therapist who specializes in addiction for information about resources in your town.
