Could the man of your life be someone who made a fool of himself each time he hit the bottle? (and he did regularly)

Not ever. My father was an alcoholic. What you are describing and asking pertains to alcoholism, since you add the caveat 'regularly'.
It's far more than being just a fool, when he or she 'hits' the bottle. It becomes a degrading, controlling and damaging thing for everyone around the person.
May I ask why you want to know this? Because whether it is excessive drinking, or having a different problem with addictive substances, any relationship will be slowly but surely affected by it. And I totally expect to be flamed for stating this, and told that I am wrong and have misread or gone over-board in my interpretation.
Whatever.
All I can say to that, in advance, is don't be so sure if you haven't been down that road, and the way the question is worded is ambivalent, to say the least.
Basta!

"May I ask why you want to know this? "
I got a friend who is an acoholic, I sometimes go with him to AA meetings, and there's lots of couples where one of them has the problem and the other just struggles to keep the relationship afloat.
I was just wondering to what extent should anyone, in this case a woman, try to fight to keep the relationship going.
