The answer

A wife has the right to seek divorce due to her husband's immorality. The main problem with consuming alcohol is a weakness of faith, as stated in the : "The fornicator does not commit fornication while he is a believer, nor does a thief steal while he is a believer, nor does one drink wine while he is a believer." Alcohol is an abomination from the work of Satan, so one must be wary of it and repent from drinking it.
