I don't know how old Karen and Life are (or their husbands) but stick around long enough and you won't have to worry about that any more if the drinking continues.
At least that was my (lucky?) case.
My personal opinion is I prefer sex with someone who is fully present. And I'm going to stop this now, because I'm cracking myself up trying to type and retype everything that sounds like a double entendre.
p.s. I agree with Minnie - Al-Anon helped me refind my voice.
