I believe the answer is:

high-handed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'being arrogant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'when drunk given' is the wordplay.
'when drunk' becomes 'high' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'when' bit.**).
'given' becomes 'handed' ('hand' can be a synonym of 'give').
'high'+'handed'='HIGH-HANDED'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for high-handed that I've seen before include "Overbearing" , "Domineering, inconsiderate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
