Yes that's what they are really saying "Accept me for being drunk and accept me for mentally and physically abusing you" Who Care's About Your needs and expectations, because Alcoholics are "Self Centered" Everything & Everyone Must Revolve Around Their Needs.
I have a News-Flash For Most Of Them, No One In Their Right Healthy Mind Will Accept Or Put Up With Their Behaviors and That's Why Most Of Them Are Left Alone.
They Are Not Capable Of A Relationship, They Only Want Someone To Be Their Victims.
I Refuse To Live Like That, Or Accept That Type Of Behavior & Treatment and Any Normal Human Being Won't For Long.
