Drinking: The Good, The Bad, The Expensive

Lately my wife has found new freedom and a connection to her youth by hanging out with all the 21 yo she works with. Now dont get me wrong, they are nice people and fun to hang around. Thing is though, they just want to go out drinking. Now in the first place, Tracy is 30 yo with health issues, so she shouldnt really be drinking that much. Then there's dealing with her hung over, and finally there is the expense. Now I dont want to tell her she cant go out and have fun with her friends, but I dont want to spend every penny we have on drinking either. We are not rich folk and we have our share of debt like anyone else. She tells me she wants to take vacations and such, but it seems as though we end up spending our extra money on things like this. Now just this morning I reworked our budget and according to it we should have plenty of money left over each month, yet we always seem broke. Now not to rag too much on my wife, this is something that has only been going on a couple of weeks, so I may just let her get it out of her system and things should go back to normal soon.
