Please pay attention to this! Your 3 yo KNOWS daddy is drunk. No, she doesn't have the same understanding of this that adults do but yes, she does understand on her own 3 yo level. And she is learning that this is what adults do, this is how adult males behave, that this is what a husband does.

Do you want her to learn these lessons? Or do you want to break the cycle right now?
