I agree with the dude who said this song title is a nod at the older song "I Wanna be an Alcoholic", and I think the song is autobiographical. I believe Fat Mike is simply admitting he IS a drug using alcoholic, Fat Mike has never shyed away from the fact that he likes to drink and take prescription drugs and other recreational drugs (besides heroin). So I think he is just being honest when he says at 28 he discovered vicodin (hydrocodone), and that he is sick of waking up feeling like garbage. I can relate, of course by nighttime your ready to do it all over again though, lol!
