I don't see how drinking would help. I mean, you have a hubby and kids and all. It is not like you are going to get your "party" on tonight. Sorry, I understand being energetic with nothing to do, but don't see the fun in getting drunk to wake up to a hangover with kids.
I am kind of young, so maybe I just don't get it, but I do understand thinking that drinking will cure boredom.
