I always thought it was about a relationship breaking up because of his alcohol problem, not him drinking after the break-up... that would explain his attitude of "can't stop myself drinking, can't stop being me" it's almost like an argument between the couple, and she says she hates him the way he's become by drinking so much.
The bit that really creeps me out is the last verse. "A drop in the ocean" immediately got me thinking that he dumped his girlfriend in the river, but probably not, in fact on second thought i think he threw himself in the ocean and drowned. "Russia on Ice is burning a hole" - I'm assuming this would mean burning a hole in his heart, because the alcohol is the source of why he's gotten like this and as a consequence it meant he lost his significant other.
I might be wrong, but that's my understanding of it.
