The answer

If the husband utters a clear statement of divorce, being aware and acting voluntarily, the divorce takes effect whether the wife is menstruating or in a state of purity. This is the preponderant and -given opinion.

If this is the first or second divorce, the husband has the right to reconcile with his wife as long as she is within her waiting period ().

If the husband drinks alcohol, the wife should advise him to repent. If he does not respond, it is commendable for her to seek divorce or khul (divorce at the wife's instance with compensation), because it is recommended for a woman to separate from a husband who is negligent in his duty towards Allah. Indeed, it is narrated from Imam Ahmad what indicates the obligation of this.
