Yes, if you abuse someone when you're drunk, it still counts as abuse regardless of how frequently you get drunk. The fact that you only engage in abusive behavior while intoxicated does not excuse or diminish the harm caused to the other person. Abuse is harmful and can have serious consequences for the victim's physical and emotional well-being.

Whether you can get arrested for the abusive behavior while drunk depends on the laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. In many places, abusive behavior is considered a crime, regardless of whether the person was intoxicated at the time. If the abusive behavior leads to physical harm, emotional distress, or constitutes a violation of any relevant laws, you can be subject to legal consequences, including arrest, regardless of your state of intoxication.

It is essential to remember that alcohol consumption is not an excuse for abusive behavior, and seeking help for alcohol misuse and addressing the underlying issues leading to abusive behavior is crucial for the safety and well-being of both the individual and those around them. If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol abuse or abusive behavior, seeking professional help and support is strongly recommended.
