Depending on the mood, and mindset of the listener, it could kind've be a feel good song. A song of celebration. "A couple of drinks, I sway, I sway, I sway." kind've in that "tripping billies" by Dave Matthews band way.
then you may want to consider what the meaning of the title is..."ZebraSkin" it could be a brand of hard liquor, who knows.
But to me, This song makes me feel like he took a chance with one of his best friends, romantically, and it failed, thus making him fear he lost his best friend. So now he is having a couple of drinks to reflect on his error. It doesn't say he gets hammered, he only says "a couple of drinks".
however, he says he hasn't felt this way since yesterday, insinuating he's an alcoholic.
I think he loses his best friend, but finds a replacement at the end: "i may have found my best friend" The replacement being alcohol.
I do think he began an intimate relationship with his best friend though, and it failed.
It could mean alot of different things.
