She may have married Jacques to marry into wealth and power (that her family probably already had, if she wasn't a part of the Schnee family before marrying Jacques). She probably drinks now because her husband is a hyperactive and tempermental buffoon (in her eyes) who blows things out of proportion and throws temper-tantrums when the military doesn't let him have his way. If she was a Schnee and Jacques just changed his last name when he married her, maybe she's drinking because of how Jacques handling her father's company. I think the looks on their faces in that portrait are supposed to be significant. Mama Schnee drinking in the middle of the day isn't exactly an indicator of her being happy or emotionally stable. For some reason she is not happy, but it isn't really a look of sadness or anger. She looks cold and drained emotionally. That is the not the face of someone who is even sort of getting what she wants out of life and more that of someone who has lost hope.
