i found it interesting that it's "hounds" plural in the title, and "hound" singular in the song. so i thought maybe he's referring to the different possible usages of the word "hound"? a hound, besides being a dog, can be used to describe a person of contempt as well as a person who is an enthusiast of something in particular.
the other men hoping to score with the woman by pouring drinks into her are obviously the contemptible ones. the phrasing of "pouring drinks into you" is rather vulgar and suggests that it's only for their benefit, not hers. they don't care for her at all, especially not as intensely as the narrator does. and perhaps she is an attention hound, the other side of the definition. hence, the two types of hounds-- both of which, the narrator wishes would slow down.
