Your Husband Is Not To Be Trusted
Let me give the masculine point of view here: if I were behaving the way your husband is behaving, it would only be because I no longer wanted to control my impulses for the sake of the marriage. Your husband is drinking too much and he's acting on his attraction to your sister (how much physical resemblance and/or age difference is there between you and her, by the way?); he's doing it because he (a) wants to, and (b) knows he can get away with it, in part because he's gotten away with it before. If I were doing this (speaking as a guy), I would be acting this way because I no longer really felt accountable and I could keep right on enjoying the benefits of married life without needing to do anything to earn them. Listen to a man here: trusting your husband any further at this stage would not be smart.
Oh, and trusting your sister is a bad idea, too. At best she has a conflict of interest here; at worse she's manipulating you with these revelations.
