I'm a bit torn by two meanings:

One is simply alcohol. The guy thinks he's great because he's smashed, and can't tell what the hell is going on, but just sees himself as an awesome dude and the center of attention.

With words like "dollhouse", "safe sleeping upstairs", I kinda get the feeling of a friendly, homogenized, sanitary society. This person is perfect, in a creepy way. No hardships to write and talk about.
