All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
In principle a wife is obliged to obey her husband when he calls her to bed. She is obliged to obey her husband even though he consumes intoxicants. Moreover, she is obliged to obey him as long as he does not order her to disobey Allaah or do something by which she is harmed.
For more benefit in this regard, please refer to Fatwa 88547.
You should also clarify to your husband that consuming intoxicants is forbidden, in this regard please refer to Fataawa 81461, 81567 and 86752.
Allaah Knows best.
