"With the lack of detail in the original post it seems clear something is wrong."

Not taking out the garbage, not locking all the doors at night, and not turning down the heat at night seem to be the biggies. He doesn't say that she is on his case about drinking too much or staying out too late, and with her low tolerance for human foibles, it seems like drinking too much would have made it on the list, if it were really a problem.

The things he's forgetting are not the issue, it's the forgetting that suggests the drinking. Problem drinkers rarely recognize their problem and would generally be reluctant to lead with that as a problem. As I said in my original response, I am making an assumption but alcohol rarely helps a marriage.
