Alcohol is a depressant. It lowers our consiousness and our inhabitions. If there is rage or insecurity simmering just under the surface, drinking alcohol is just the drug some people need to let it all out. If someone is becoming abusive when drinking alcohol, first they need to stop blaming it on the alcohol because that tendancy is there to begin with. Second, they need to stop drinking alcohol because if that is what brings the rage out in them, the answer seems simple. Someone with these tendancies need to get some proffessional help. Drinking alcohol isn't the answer to their problems, it clearly is only making it worse. If you are in an abusive situation the best thing you can do for both of you is to get out now. Let that person get some help. Think about it. If this person claims to love you and they ever found out that someone was abusive with you, what do you think they would do? So why wouldn't that apply if they are the abuser? If they love you and they are abusing you they aren't just hurtin you, they are hurting themself as well. Not to mention that violence is something that usually only escalates when it's not treated. Get out and get help now!

First, understand that alcohol is a mind-altering drug....2nd, people use/abuse it to escape....3rd, emotions orrigonate in the mind,...4th,the affect of alcohol one way or another is un-preventable, and lastly, the effectiveness of alcohol consumption is .an accumulative 'thing'... the more often it is used , the more it takes to get the results your after...and the more emotive consequences arize.
That sead,.. "abusiveness" is probably allready present in the individual who drinks and displays the charictoristic. The effect of the alcohol just lowers his tendancys to hide the problems he driks to escape.
