Hie. um i think your wife has a drinking problem. now the only way to help her is not by being harsh on her, coz as someone pointed out shes not your daughter. Shes an adult with something going oon that you might not know of. Try talking to her, be with her more often. If you think you know whats better in life than she does why dont you try being a kind loving supportive husband. Get her to open up. If you are the person in the picture then i take it your wife is also a bit older. If thats the case it quite normal for women to be like that. the only thing is for you to be a supportive husband. Go with her for shopping but give her space at the same time. let her chose what to buy what she wants to eat. it maybe a cry for help or attention. So be there for her as you promised you would.
if shes way younger than you, she may need to go out ore often.
Try keep the booze out of the house.

Why did she drink all of the wine ? Was she depressed, worried, frustrated, angry? Did you have hot discussions? There should be some reason. Try to find it out ,then solve it. May be you are not listening to her, not understanding her problems, not taking her seriously. You are her husband you should take care of her problems.
Don't stop her from going out but you go with her for shopping or where she wants to go.Talk to her softly. Don't make fun of her.
Her attitude shows that she is very depressed . Be careful if you want her to survive. Love and respect her.

First of all I don't think it's your right to decide when your wife can or can't go shopping, unless she has some kind of bad spending habit. Because she drank wine? Maybe she needs to go to an AA meeting if it's that bad. Good luck!

:You are not her mother. She needs help if she is drinking like what you are descriping. Be a good husband and take her to get help!!!!! If she wants to go shopping go with her if you are afraid she is going to drink. You do not want her to drink and drive and hurt someone. She has a drinking problem get her help, don't ground her like a child. She needs you more now than ever , be there for her.

Whether you approve of her behavior or not, she is an adult. You are not her parent, and do not own her. If you don't give her some reasonable amount of space to be who she is, she will resent you, and possibly continue the negative behavior, just to prove that she is her own person. Talk to her and see how to compromise. She needs air, you cannot be her only reason for living. I know, I am living this nightmare myself...good luck to you both.

yea you should you don't control her but maybe you should go with her and not let her buy any wine, beer, and whiskey. that may help a bit. if she's drinking this much and eating chocolate she might be some sort of alcoholic

Well maybe if you feed her more and let her out more often she might now drink and eat all the time. SO take her out more often and yea let go out shopping and don't worry if she gets too drunk just take advantage of the situation if you know what I mean.

If you make all of the money, then I guess you can ground her, but little girls grow up to rebel. If she has a job, you can't ground her. But if you want anything for dinner anytime soon, I'd let her go shopping! :)

Um, this is your wife your talking about and not your daughter? Grounded? She's obviously an alchoholic and needs help, not you to control her life. You need help too.
