I was reading your latest thread with my serious thinking cap on and then you throw in the last line, you are quite funny!
I too think your wife may have a depression/drinking problem. She drinks because she is depressed and then she is depressed that she drank. A vicious cycle my friend. NO ONE is going to get her to end this cycle except your W and unfortunately this might not be something she will ever do. I guess you could treat her like a kid throwing a tantrum or showing negative behaviour; I usually jump in with a distraction. Move the kid to another toy or room in the house. It shouldn't take all night to get the kids ready for school on Monday so maybe do that early in the evening and suggest you all go for a walk or a bike ride or to the park. This way she doesn't have the opportunity to drink quite so much. Just a thought...
