Would you agree that it's more than a "big deal" when a wife went home drunk?

Whats the difference? Men do the same thing all the time.

I think getting drunk is way overrated to begin with. Whether it's a woman or man it doesn't matter. Most of the time if either of them come home drunk it will more than likely cause problems. After all who really wants vomit throughout the night, and have a huge headache the next day. That doesn't sound like fun too me.

It is more than a "big deal" when anyone goes home drunk. They are out of control and not managing their life well at all. I know some cultures treat men and women with different standards still, but the standard here needs to be moderation in all things.

I just can't imagine a wife coming home drunk (lols) Unless in some occasion or event - a family affair, gathering or special event that she can't resist to join the fun. But making it a habit- that I don't think it looks good either. Besides, drinking won't do any good in us and in our health.

It's all because of society's expectations or views on gender. A woman should always be delicate, poised and graceful, so disobeying the husband or getting drunk (hence shouting, screaming, saying obscene words, getting into fights etc.) is seen as digraceful or a lack of dignity, not feminine enough etc. While a man is seen as someone strong, robust, with more power, more macho - in their image, getting drunk and visiting the pubs really frequently isn't doing that much harm. In my own opinion, drunk people are disgusting, but it's even more disgusting if a female does it, because in the basic things I'm a bit old-fashioned, maybe (but I do support female power in politics and the workplace)... but I don't see it worse in primciple in a relationship than the hubby arriving drunk at home. At least the drunk woman would have less power to hit the spouse and the kids :S.

Yes i observe that yet women drink more resposibly rathen their husband. And alsn want to know why it's a big deal when women get drunk? Anyways, girl are not like boys that they drink and doesn't care for the rest.

I think it depends on the spouse. Some men feel it's okay for them to stay out late, never come home, drink the money away and leave the wife at home with the kids. Other men are not like that at all, they hold the wife up to the same standards as themselves. A lot of inequality exists today, it's wrong, but it does exist. Is it fair? No. We have to be very careful who we choose as our significant others.
