What about those of us who don't drink?
I wish I could give you some solid advice on how to increase your word count. Personally, I'm always way ahead (mentally) compared to what I'm actually writing, because I think up ideas a lot faster than I can write them. For example, I already have a rough outline for the next couple years' worth of material. I know more or less how the entire story's going to go. I haven't figured out every single plot point yet, but the "big" events are all planned out. My goal, then, becomes tying those events together. How do I get from point A to B to C to D? Figuring out those details is the most challenging part of the process, and I take it one manageable chunk at a time. One step leads to the next, and so on, so that hopefully I end up where I wanted to go.
