The phrase "abusive drinking" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a pattern of excessive or harmful alcohol consumption that negatively impacts an individual's health or relationships.
Example: "The community is increasingly concerned about the rise in abusive drinking among teenagers, leading to various health issues."
Alternatives: "problematic drinking" or "excessive alcohol consumption".
Overall socio-demographic variables played a more important role for abusive drinking and number of drinks than for the frequency of drinking (Table 2, Model 1).
We modelled the weekly average number of drinks in the last year, the monthly frequency of drinking, and the monthly frequency of abusive drinking (more than 6 drinks on one occasion [ 23]).
Because number of drinks and frequency of abusive drinking are not normally distributed and because of over-dispersion (a minority may never drink), we used a negative binomial mixed regression model.
On average each student had 1.7 drinks a day and 2.8 episodes of abusive drinking a month.
Older students were less likely to drink and, in particular, less likely to engage in abusive drinking.
On average, a student drank seven times a month (std = 6.6), had 1.7 drinks a day (std = 21), and 2.8 episodes of abusive drinking per month (std = 4.4).

The songs on "Gossamer" — which Mr. Angelakos has described as autobiographical — revolve around a romance besieged by the singer's own cynicism, insecurity, obsessiveness, abusive behavior and heavy drinking.
