solve your problems, enable you to get what you want Explanation: I think the sense of this expression is very general here. "Make it work" just means "make things work", "it" being whatever it is you happen to want. I don't think it refers to making the alcohol work. A few lines later it says "Make a wish, and your army of harlot bottles will respond": the alcohol, they seem to be claiming, will grant your wishes, make your dreams come true. Of course, this is understood to be ironic: they implicit claim is obviously phony. |
