It's a pity Eddie is a former friend as his current vocal is pretty cool.
There's a little sibilance on the vocal that could be addressed.
The hihat's a little loud but not aggressively so. The drums seem almost mono.
Your lead work is cool - I enjoyed the wah particularly.
A ballad for the bottle always reminds me of Tom Waites' classic quote "I'd rather a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
