Yes, using a drunkard bot is technically grounds for a ban. Macros in general are fine, as long as you are present pressing the macro buttons. Drunkard bot "macros", where you can be afk, are a definite no-no.

Depends if the macro is automated. A Drunkard macro would not be any use unless it was automatic, so that could get you banned, yes. A macro to execute several commands in a sequence is fine, provided that it requires manual input to execute.
