Do her and her friends do any daytime or or non-drinking activities together? In my opinion and experience people who only hang out to go out drinking don’t really like each other in “real life” I wonder what would happen if they all just went hiking or something. Could be enlightening for her (and for you! ) and break up the partying cycle…

Thank you, that is a great suggestion. Now how to suggest it without me trying to impose my sobriety on her.
Was there a certain breaking point for the divorce?
I think it was just a “culmination” of things. What we were doing obviously was not working. So, I decided to put some distance between us. After some time apart, I realized staying together was not an option any longer. Deep down I just knew I couldn’t and did not want to be in the marriage any longer. It’s difficult to be with someone who drinks regularly when the other person is trying to stay sober. That’s my own experience. I couldn’t do it, and unfortunately with my ex and I, after the drinking was removed, we didn’t have too much in common anymore. Hope it gets easier for you.
