i completely agree with "insy"'s idea that this song is like a continuation of Just Dance, except that this time, she's painting the drunkeness in a negative light. she's basically saying "you can get drunk and have all the fun you want, but keep in mind that the fun is superficial. you're in a different state of mind." while you're drinking, you're as happy as ever...but when you come down, the world truly bends.
i also see it being about the time when she was addicted to cocaine, and she recalled stories of sitting in front of the mirror doing her makeup for hours on end, sniffing up coke. i really think that the song is from the perspective of the old, drug addicted Gaga she was, talking to the sobered up Gaga and trying to persuade her to go back to where she used to be, and since alcohol can be a catalyst for addictions to come back, the song describes her paranoia about how alcohol can affect her. the one line that supports this theory most is "be your best friend, yeah, i'll love you forever. up in the clouds, we'll be higher than ever." it's basically the old Gaga saying that SHE'LL be Gaga's best friend, and they need nothing else but cocaine to coexist.
I agree completely about the fear of addiction. Gaga has said herself that that is what the song's about, and that her relationship to alcohol and drugs is one of enjoyment but intense fear of the addictive state of mind it puts her in. At the same time though, I think there are other meanings..someone pointed out that she might have a crush on a girl that doesn't return the feelings..and I've always thought, and others think as well, that she is really talking about herself and the difference between the pre-Gaga Stefani, with her Monsters, and the fearless Gaga...
