The song Margaritaville is about an alcoholic. It's for the best that he didn't live that lifestyle. Yes, he stopped drinking then because of the sugar, but still health reasons.
That's his most recognizable song. It makes sense he's build his brand on that name.
It wasn't the only song he built a brand on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheeseburger_in_Paradise_(restaurant)
I heard he was more of a clamato guy.
