I see that it can be very divisive. Let's see what the TiBB consensus is.
It's okay. It seems to me too much of a drinking song, and about the effects of alcohol to like that much, though, when I think about it, I can appreciate that it is actually about something, and tells a story.

I like the Always On My Mind cover by the Pet Shop Boys, that beat it to Number One, better.

My favourite Christmas song is Do They Know It's Christmas? by Band Aid.

It's almost as if the n-word has historical implications to it or something. I don't like rap music so I don't really know how common it is in songs, but I'm almost certain this is the only song with "faggot" in it. Incidentally, it's not only used for gay guys:

Alongside its use to refer to gay men in particular, it may also be used as a pejorative term for a "repellent male" [and it] may also be used as a generic insult, for example, "idiot", although more offensive in nature.

How is trash to point out words can have multiple meanings?

From the context of the song, it's clear she means he's a "repellent male", rather than gay, matching the definition I posted upthread.
