Over deze songtekst:
Alanis Morissette vertelde kort voor dit lied uitkwam over haar gevecht met haar eetverslaving en - zij het wat minder - met haar drankverslaving. Het gevecht tegen de verslaving is zo moeilijk, als je weet dat juist de verslaving als een bevrijding aanvoelt. De titel suggereert dat het om drankverslaving gaat, maar het gaat om elke vorm van verslaving: alcohol, voedsel, werk, drugs enz.
Het is niet alleen de strijd om een verslaving te overwinnen, maar ook een strijd tegen die mensen, die je veroordelen als verslaafde.
These are the reasons I drink The reasons I tell everybody I'm fine even though I am not These are the reasons I overdo it I have been working since I can remember, since I was single digits Now, even though I've been busted I don't know where to draw the line 'cause that groove has gotten so deep And nothing can give reprieve like they do Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do Here we are I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong, oh One more hit It feels so helpful in my need for respite, oh And here are the reasons I eat Reasons I feel everything so deeply when I'm not medicated And so that's it, I am buying a Lamborghini To make up for these habits, to survive this sick industry Nothing can give reprieve like they do Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do Here we are I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong, oh One more sip It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite, oh And these are the reasons I don't even think I would quit And these are the reasons I can't even see straight And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects And I am left wondering how I would function without it Here we are I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong, oh One more rip I go from one lily pad to another to stay lit, oh
