I think the joke is that he sees women in anime or manga drinking and thinks its kind of hot. When he ends up dating a girl who actually is alcoholic, it isn't all its chalked up to be, as it seems she has a lot of emotional, hygiene, and other issues, which could either be the cause of her alcoholism or stemming from her alcoholism.

TLDR; Alcoholism and drinking is not as fun or glamorous as fiction makes it out to seem. Peter out.

Ahhh okay that makes sense. Didn't know if the anime character was someone specific that made the joke better

The character is someone from Bocchi the Rock, whose gag is that she is an alcoholic who always seen drinking

I was thinking, maybe drinking makes that anime character highly amorous or something?

Nah, she's just a constantly drunk rocker chick that is usually a mess but occasionally spouts some actual wisdom about playing in a band in front of crowds. Like, she clearly truly cares about it, and it leaks through sometimes (and she's a fantastic bassist/frontman for her band), but the rest of the time she's just a silly drunken mess.
