I also wonder how much all that junk he drank affected him physically - he slurred his speech, his mouth was permanently in a half sneer, he couldn't walk straight up and seemed physically and mentally challenged in many aspects. What a mess of a person.
This is the one area, I think the actor and director went too far on. The man obviously does look like 50 miles of bad road and yet he gets all these beautiful women into bed with him. It just strains belief. Especially when we are shown he can barely hold a conversation. So no looks and no conversation skills, but beautiful women knocking on his door. Right....NOT.
I've read some people theorized that we aren't seeing Freddie as he looks in reality. We are seeing the person inside him. So on the inside he is twisted and broken but the outside looks very normal.
The one thing that makes the end a bit more hopeful for me is that Freddie is no longer pining for his lost love. He has come to terms with that past. So it makes his interactions with women, more relaxed...he isn't holding out for a dream and keeping himself apart.

That's the effect of his 'animal magnetism.'
Also, consider that most guys never get a shot at certain beautiful women simply because the guys assume the women are out of their league, so they never even make an honest attempt to seduce them. It hardly needs saying that Freddie suffered from no such inhibitions. lol
