Were there even roofies or the equivalent when the song was written?
She's just talking about the alcohol content in her eggnog, I think.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I agree, I was just wondering as to the other.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I agree that it's not the intent of the song, but people were slipping Mickeys in the early 1900s, apparently. [link]

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
Huh, somehow I thought that term didn't originate until the 1940s or thereabouts. Maybe from watching old B&W detective flicks? Who knows, but thanks for the cool link, Jesse!

That is one of the best Seinfeld's ever!
George: I'm gonna slip him a mickey
Jerry: In his drink? Are you out of your mind? Who are you, Peter Lorre?
Jerry: Where did you even get a mickey? I can't believe I'm saying mickey!
George: I have a source.
Jerry: You've got a mickey source.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In Eugene O'Neill's one-act play from 1917 The Long Voyage Home one of the characters is slipped a mickey. In fact, that is how most sailors were Shanghaied out of San Francisco.
They'd slip 'em some knock-out drops (I don't know what was common then), and then they'd roll the guy up in a rug, and cart him up the hill from the bars on the Barbary Coast. He'd wake up at sea and have no choice but to work until they made landfall, and even then he'd probably be bound to the ship because he wouldn't have enough money to buy passage to where he wanted to go.
