Was Smashed (2012) based on this??

I never saw Smashed but I just looked it up on IMDB and it sure sounds like it's a remake of it, with a few alterations.

Very similar. Smashed shares the same theme about alcohol being the foundation of a relationship and if one gets sober the relationship falls apart, the "threesome" as DoWaR suggests. What is different is that the two both seem to be hard drinkers but one, the wife, can't stop once she starts and it leads to harder drugs. The husband seems to be able to control it better and but still drinks a lot.
