Treat with courtesy

Last night, all of our company staff had a big dinner together to see one of our colleagues off.  He had to quit and return home because his wife had depression and needed him.   We stayed out at the bar late and my wife had to wait for me until it was late because she can't sleep well if I'm not at home.
I drank lots of beer by the time I got home and my wife was lying on the bed watching TV.  I knew that wasn't good for her and baby but I had to go to the party to stay with colleaues, but I didn't take part in the party that they held. On one side is my  wife and baby and on the other side is another is treat with courtesy drinking with my colleagues at a going away party.  < Call it what it is.
Oh,it's too troublesome as an adult. < No one said life would be easy.
I think lots of people have the problem of how to balance this case is important for family and work. (doesn't sound like work to me or your wife / ask her) But ,so far,I haven't found the solution.

Okay - you asked for it. Ha ha.
 Tell the truth.  Did you "play" (play what?) or "drink at the bar?" I think my guess is right and this way you feel guilty. Why can't your wife "sleep well" if you're not home? This is not "sleep well" < this is "doesn't trust you" < it gives her a worried mind - am I right?  (wink). You HAD to go... (if you would lose your job if you didn't go, it's not a good job and those aren't good friends)...."but I didn't take part in the party they held" <<< Oh?  What were they doing at this part besides drinking that you didn't do? The problem is you live in a society (like Korea) that insists that men socialize/drink after work afterwork in order to stay employed.  What a crock that would be in America. There is no solution because your culture has a double standard.  You're supposed to be a good worker and a good husband.  But working there requires you to do things that hurt your wifes feelings or are not good for your marriage and family.  There are two solutions.  Put your wife first (like you promised - you did didn't you? - in your marriage vows) and do what's best for her and your family - or move to another country or job that permits you to stay home and love the people who are the reason you are working so hard for in the first place...

      HE can leave his job for HIS wife, but you cannot do what is best for YOUR wife and child?
There you go.
Ha ha.  Oh, and tell her the truth.  Women aren't stupid.  We know you're not "playing " out there.  Why do you think she "can't sleep well" when you're not home?  And there she is with your baby inside her.  Honor that and do the right thing next time. 

I'm not saying I'm RIGHT - but you asked for my OPINION and well, you got it!

I am supposed that your wife is pregrant at the moment, right? If yes, please stay with her as more time as you can at this special period.

Business dinners in China are the most prominent display of our die-hard drinking culture. Even if a person can’t drink, they feel the need to drink to give their business partners face and respect, and also to show him that you are honest and trustworthy by putting your life on the line and drinking more than you are capable of. It’s not uncommon to find people whose entire career is built on their ability to drink. But of course not everyone in China abides by the same rule. The drinking culture in Shanghai for example is a lot more moderate. But that’s also why people from Shanghai are often the subject of ridicule at dinner tables. ------------------ Always ask a person what they know before you tell them what they are not going to understand.

I don't have to live there to understand it.

"He had to quit and return home because his wife had a little spirit problem." ________________This answers your question. 1) . It's acceptable for your colleague to quit a job because his wife needs HIM -BUT 2) It's not acceptable for you to stay home with your wife because she needs YOU? ------ Give this some thought.
