Need drinking song suggestions
I'm putting together a compilation of drinking and alcohol-related songs for a pre-pub crawl get together I'm having with some friends. Anyone have any suggestions? My friends are mostly skaters, punkers and few general hipster types, so no Jimmy Buffet suggestions.
A few songs already on my list:

Since you already have one country song on your list - here's a link to CMT's top 40 drinking songs:

Wow. I was working on the same thing.
Whisky in the jar - Metallica One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer - George Throrogood Mas Tequila - Sammy Hagar (A must, this song is a blast) I drink Alone - GT Have a Drink on Me - AC/DC Tequila Sunrise - Eagles and one of my most hated songs in the world Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffett But, I'm at work and can't remember what is in my playlist at home. |
Fear "More Beer"
Gang Green "Alcohol" <------- find this! "I'd rather drink than f***" |
Tubthumping, or is it Tubthumper? That Chumbawamba song from a few years ago.

Gather your Brothers, pour yourself a giant, Viking-sized flagon of mead and put on any album by MANOWAR. Hours of fun!

"Drink" by the great but obscure Jazz Butcher Conspiracy.
Best drinking song ever. Lyrics: I'm broken-hearted With all that this entails It takes some concentrated drinking To keep me on the rails I have to hide my face I have to hide my shame I don't wait 'til I'm sober 'Til I get drunk again I drink at home I drink out I drink in cocktail bars Falling down Seeing stars It suits me It suits me Going astray In all the bars from here to Mandalay They never close We never pay Chorus: My oh my We can't compete It's only heavy drinking that keeps us on our feet My oh my I can't complain If it weren't for heavy drinking We'd never play Sweet Jane My my my, oh my The days go by I never quite forget her But goodness how I try Believe me Believe me Falling apart in bars I like to suffer for my art Just one more before we part Don't want to think About how much I drink It's a habit that's out of control Hope I never get dry before I get old. Trombone (trombone solo) Chorus Don't want to think About how much I drink It's a habit that's out of control Hope I never get dry (before you get) Hope I never get dry now (before you get) Hope I never get dry before I get old... mmmmm... mmmm |
out of my own library:
Too Drunk To F*** - The Dead Kennedys anything by The Pogues |

My mom loves some song about whisky for my men and beer for the horses or something like that.
<--- not a country fan. I'm sure there are plenty of songs in that genre though. Kid Rock - Wasting Time |

Drunk Drivin' - Sublime
Extremely short though... |
Gang Green's "Alcohol" is a classic. If there was ONE drinking song that says it all, it's this one.
Tankard, a German metal band, has a ton of them. I like "Chemical Invasion" which rally's against laws that let brewers make unpure beer. There's a few punk rock compilations that are all about drinking. (not at home, so I can't look it up right now). The Dragons have a couple (at least). "Three Steps To The Bar" and "Loaded". Supersuckers "Drink And Complain" The Donnas have a few too. "Pass It Around", "5 O Clock In The Morning" |
The Tossers "Monday Morning" would be perfect for ya...

A Salty Salute - Guided by Voices
Disarm the settlers The new drunk drivers Have hoisted the flag We are with you in your anger Proud brothers Do not fret The bus will get you there yet To carry us to the lake The club is open Yeah, the club is open Hey, the club is open A-come on, come on, the club is open C'mon, c'mon, the club is open C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, the club is open... |
"Sick Bed of Cuchulain" by The Pogues
"The Bottle's Been Drinking (Not Me)" by Tom Waits |

Now Red, Red Wine - that's about drinking A bottle of Chablis, hey now, that ain't no stuff for me Chateau Timberley, as long as I can't see Gallo or Muscatel, either one would be just swell I didn't come here to fight, hey just as long as that ain't white Now I ain't no connoiseur cat - the conno-sewer/kinda sewer rat Red red wine on Sunday Always tastes so good Red red wine Red red wine Red red wine if you would Hey now as long as it is red, oh set 'em up until we're dead A Saturday sippin' beer, let's get a jug without a year Now I ain't no connoiseur cat, I think you guessed that Red red wine on Sunday Just like Martin said Red red wine Red red wine Set us up 'till we're dead I ain't no connoiseur cat, conno-sewer rat ... on Sunday Just like Martin said Red red wine Red red wine Set us up 'till we're dead |
And of course
Alcohol by the Kinks: Here is a story about a sinner, He used to be a winner who enjoyed a life of prominence and position, But the pressures at the office and his socialite engagements, And his selfish wife’s fanatical ambition, It turned him to the booze, And he got mixed up with a floosie And she led him to a life of indecision. The floosie made him spend his dole She left him lying on skid row A drunken lag in some salvation army mission. It’s such a shame. Oh demon alcohol, Sad memories I cannot recall, Who thought I would say, Damn it all and blow it all, Oh demon alcohol, Memories I cannot recall, Who thought I would fall a slave to demon alcohol. Barley wine pink gin, He’ll drink anything, Port, pernod or tequila, Rum, scotch, vodka on the rocks, As long as all his troubles disappeared. But he messed up his life and he beat up his wife, And the floosie’s gone and found another sucker She’s gonna turn him on to drink She’s gonna lead him to the brink And when his money’s gone, She’ll leave him in the gutter, It’s such a shame. Oh demon alcohol, Sad memories I cannot recall, Who thought I would fall, A slave to demon alcohol. |
