Legal Question in Family Law in Mississippi

Alchoholic Mother wants joint custody.
I have been married for 5 years. My wife and I have a 4 year old son. My wife has never had a motherly attachment to my son. She started drinking excessively about 2 years ago. I am a non drinker. My son and I are best friends. We do everything togethar(Shopping, fishing, reading,, etc.) My wife goes out with friends every Friday and Saturday night. Some nights she comes in around 2 or 3 a.m. and others she does not come home. She received a DUI about a year a go.(Said she would quit drinking) Instead she gets drunk and stays at someone elses house. She would hide wine and liquor in our home and would drink almost every night. She said that she wants out to be able to live her life, but now she says she wants joint custody. Split the time 50/50. Do I have a good chance of getting sole custody of my son? I have documented proof of her activities and many witnesses. I do not want my son living with an alchoholic. What Do I do?
