Cover art for Alcoholocaust lyrics by Machine Head

This song centers around the destructive power of Alcohol addiction and the fight for control, depicting the common self-destructive cycle that substance abuse creates. It's your average cautionary tale about the dangers of addiction and the importance of finding healthier ways to cope with pain and dissatisfaction, instead of a hedonistic lifestyle, which is a philosophical view that prioritizes pleasure as the ultimate aim of life.

The song was also in the film Heavy Metal 2000, the sequel to the 1981 animated film Heavy Metal.
