About dealing with alcoholism. He remembers his younger days when he was reckless and partying, not caring about the repercussions of his behavior. But it wasn't all that he wanted it to be. They thought it made them interesting, but then they just fell asleep (from drinking too much).
He's in a better place now ("where the nectar's plenty"), but I think the song is directed at someone from his past who is still drinking. Or maybe he's speaking directly to the drink itself: "Sometimes I need you around" (Sometimes I want to drink again) "my conveniences are so convenient" (drinking is such an easy escape).
But the drinkers are of course lying to themselves. There's nothing good that comes from a bottle. It wrecks you romantic relationships and even if you go there with your friends, once you start drinking you're really there alone, and you go back home to your empty apartment with nothing but a hangover ("walk home single, seeing double...")
