Going along with Squeege, the song is about self-indulgence. However, there is ample evidence that the song refers to a Cocaine binge. Whether you want to admit it or not, Dave Matthews is not the perfect frat boy you want him to be.
Straight in, suck up and go, cool it, swallow, swallow
Put the bill/straw right up your nostril, and snort it. Cool it by clearing your nasal passageways, and swallow the drip. A drip is when the substance that was insufflated slowly leaks down the back of the throat. Suck up and go refers to the immediate energy/mood rush one gets seconds after snorting a line of coke.
The rest of the song takes a more wide-open approach to over-indulgence, but the beginning, to any drug user, is clearly referencing the use of Cocaine.
I have always thought that also, along with the next few.... In between the lines i'm gonna pack more lines so i can get them in.

The rest of the song i thnk is just about our socities obsession with over indulgence. We want it BIGGER FASTER MORE all the time. He makes a wonderful point (eve if the first of it is all about blow).

I love this song, it's one of my favorite up tempo songs by Dave. Drug references or not me and my kids dance around the room to this one a lot! (they are to small to get it, hell i didn't understand a lot of his songs until well into my adulthood and i have been a DMB fan for 15 years)

"to any drug user". I think that's the problem, drug users listen to any lyrics of any song ever wrote in the history of rock and roll and all they think is "dude, he's talking about drugs!".
Quoting System Of A Down: "Pull the tapeworm out of your ass"...
