My personal favorite:
"I drink because of your damned horses." (Huh?)
"I will give up alcohol if you give up your damned horses" (Last I checked, there are no 12-step groups for women who ride horses)

Quack! Quack! Quack!
Soaring Spirits you reminded me of another (this is actually pretty therapeutic!)...

"I'll go to AA and deal with my drinking when you get serious psychological help for your mental illness"

Me: I have a therapist.

Him: "Not a crappy useless one. It has to be one that I choose since you are choosing AA for me"

And at the time I actually continued the argument with him about this as if any of it were rational!!!!!

AND

"Drinking is my release just like running is yours. So give up running and I'll give up drinking".

Obviously I said hell to the no about that one and he told me I might need to look into exercising addiction and treatment for eating disorders and said I was in denial I had a problem. And again I argued with him over it like it was a rational point.

For the record I don't have an exercise addiction or eating disorder (though I was anorexic about 20 yrs ago and AH knew that).
