Ohh Alcoholic
Ohh real good liquor
Ohh make you clumsy
Ohh make you throw up
Well...my Pop had a party at the house one
night on the last day of school and the food
is all right. We had a speaker on the roof and
a speaker on the hill with four turntables and
a reel to reel. All the pretty women came, no
ugly chicks all the stars came from the Ritz.
The people eat the chicken and they drink up
all the liquor and they turn into a big
Screwdriver
Well...my uncle is a 'Holic' and he down a
pound of Whiskey of Whiskey! With an Eight
for a chaser, spit it on the bouncer, bouncer
kicked his ass and he lost a girlfriend with a
big soul kitchen Now he's layin' in the gutter
like a skid row bum Skid row bum style
Ohh Alcoholic
Ohh Scotch and 800
Ohh make you scratch the record
Ohh burn the spaghetti
Well...I came home from school on a
Monday. I missed the radio reggae show.
I felt like a rude boy, I could have slammed
me a poseur
"You know" Well...My uncle called me a punk
rocker in the doorway as he dribbled on the
table when he started to say, "You're not a
rude boy, you're a lazy boy, you should
make like a tree and leave Make like a library
and book, Make like a roach and bug off
Ohh Alcoholic you can't drive Before you
crash and go to jail.

The song isn't about him being an alcoholic, it's about the things he saw his alcoholic Uncle do.
@neekappa spot on.

story of my life
Yeah Angelo Moore (the lead singer and co-writer of the song) has said on many occasions that this is about his Uncle. Growing up he'd see his Uncle do a lot of crazy sh*t because he was an alcoholic.
"This song is about my Uncle. He's an Alcoholic and he makes me really mad." --Angelo Moore, singer, sax, theremin, and co-writer for Fishbone
