There is no argument anywhere that alcohol makes us healthier. Plus, you have a drink, then your drink has a drink, and soon, you’re face first in a pile of french fries with cheese sauce.

The speaker rejects a health argument for drinking, then turns a drink into a character capable of ordering another. That personification makes escalation sound almost automatic. The closing image shifts the argument into comic excess, describing where an evening might end rather than presenting medical evidence.
