Wife tired of sober spouse’s crankiness when she has a drink

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been married to “Chuck” for 40 years. We’ve had a fairly decent life together, even though Chuck drank heavily for 35 of those years. Now, as we enter our twilight years, he has experienced various medical problems, which have prompted him to stop drinking altogether. Although this is a good thing, I still would like to have a drink once in a while.
