It wasn't my wife, it was her sister with the drinking problem. She lived alone after her divorce and she would frequently spend weekends with us, she loved playing with our kids, and since she was eye candy, I didn't mind at all. After the kids went to bed we would open a bottle of wine or I would make a pitcher of margaritas and we put on jammies and watch a movie on the old VHS. SIL always had a bottle of vodka hidden in her purse, after my wife and I went to bed, she would have a few more drinks. Several times we'd wake up to a naked SIL sprawled on the couch, dead to the world. My wife and I would get her to the bed in the guest room where she could sleep it off.
SIL was a hottle, but this got old when the kids got up early and wanted to know why their favorite aunt was naked in the den. My wife finally told her to clean up her act or no more weekends. She stopped falling asleep on the sofa, but alcohol claimed her at an early age. Too bad.
