It's not so much that I don't get it, but rather that I wonder how far this goes.
When I was younger I knew a couple of people whose fathers had woken them up by throwing buckets of cold water on them. Would that count as child abuse, or are there differences between beer and water, lovers and parents?

She was charged with battery by beer.
Melva Ann Wixon, 49, was arrested Tuesday night on a domestic battery charge after a wet incident at her apartment.
Here's the police version of events:
Wixon got home about 7 p.m. at an apartment she shares with her boyfriend, Eric Hartman. She had been drinking at a bar. He had been sleeping.
She was angry at him because he plans to move to Ohio. So she poured beer on him. This woke him up.
Displeased by her action, Hartman called police.
