army of harlot bottles
English

Poetry & Literature
He always has the same drink, his breakfast drink, but still it's like Christmas morning every time he walks in and sits down. Or it's like a candy store. It's like all the wonderful being-a-kid memories that he can recall, the good, the bad, and the easy. Make a wish, and your army of harlot bottles will respond. It is an unrestricted arena of choices;it makes what he gets,what he always gets,that much more attractive.
It is a text from Leaving Las Vegas and he is a drunk.

Selected
the choice of drinks (always/readily) available (at the bar?)
The choice is always there, and readily available (provided he pays, presumably -- which enhances the 'harlot' analogy) -- he can get what he wants, every time, it's reliable and real, his needs (as he perceives them, being an alcoholic) can be fulfilled; just like a prostitute offers a straightforward satisfaction of sexual desires, so the booze offers a straightforward satisfaction of his craving for alcohol.
