There is no alcohol abuse but about halfway through the book a character drinks alcohol.

Not the direct phrase, but the wife is directly implying she's going to commit suicide in a flashback.

The actual act of suicide happens "off-screen," but the man's wife explains to him why she is going to kill herself and then the narrator tells us briefly how she did it (with a sharp stone, presumably to cut her wrists).

It is not clear if the event is a nuclear explosion, but it is unlikely.

Yes, regularly throughout. The man and the boy find lots of human corpses as they travel. There is a scene where the man shoots another man in the head and the boy has the gore splattered on him.
