I've been listening to this song obsessively so I thought I'd comment on it. By far my favorite line is "If morning's a bitch with open arms and night's a girl who's gone to far, Whiskey is harder to keep than a woman and it's half as sweet..."
Obviously the song is about making a choice between his woman or his whiskey. In the line that I mentioned, he seems to be comparing his state of mind/sobriety to specific types of women, which I think is brilliant. Morning is a bitch with open arms meaning that he is probably hungover, but with the possibility of either changing his ways/not drinking anymore (or maybe the open arms are inviting him to drink more...?). Night is a girl that has gone too far is his drinking way too much at night and not knowing when to stop which he mentions as a problem elsewhere in the song. Brilliant!
