You need to protect yourself legally. She is driving drunk - what kind of liability are you subject to? Is your name on the car? Is it your insurance?
Back in the day I worked in Bankruptcy and Foreclosure - many a case where a spouse was in BR due to the alcoholism or addiction of their wife/husband. please don't let that happen to you.
All of this is very useful. Listen to it. Throwing out the alcohol is just a waste of money and no more. Double check to make sure you have no liability if she's driving drunk.
I'm so glad someone brought up the bankruptcy thing. My AM dragged her own mother down with her in her BR, because she had gotten in so deep that she was using her mother's name and resources to stay afloat. Protect yourself. That's all you can do at this point.
