He doesn't drink the vodka, he gets hit in the face by it!
"A vodka bottle gave you those raccoon eyes.
We got beat up just for holding hands."
At first I just thought that this song was a happy little ditty about taking E. Then I actually read the lyrics and was horrified to find out that it's at least partially about homophobic violence. But this new-found sadness just made me love the song more.
The only bit that I have trouble understanding is why he's asking this past love (as pointed out above, it's all in the past tense) to take ecstacy with him? But I think maybe JoelHughes2006 has helped me answer this question, when he states "A pill is a temporary fix, and he knows it, but its not an answer, because he doesn't have one. It's a suggestion, a desperate hope for feeling again."
