Jam—A Tribe Called Quest
“On some liquor, to meet my high quicker/ Now, Im tight, them know, the party is the m.o.”
Anything We Want—Fiona Apple
“We started out sippin’ the water/ And now we try to swallow the wave/ And we try not to let those bastards get us down”
Papa Was a Rodeo—The Magnetic Fields
“What are we doing in this dive bar?/ How can you live in a place like this?/ Why don’t you just get into my car/ And I’ll take you away/ I’ll take that kiss now, but”
Carolina Drama—The Raconteurs
“It was a junk-house in South Carolina/ Held a boy the age of ten/ Along with his older brother Billy/ And a mother and her boyfriend/ Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos/ That were given to him when he was young/ And a drunk temper that was easy to lose/ And thank god he didn’t own a gun”
Gin & Juice—Snoop Dogg
“Rollin down the street, smokin indo, sippin on gin and juice/ Laid back (with my mind on my money and my money on my mind)”

How about Erin and her Cello’s “Sober?” http://youtu.be/o8tgvG_Tnwk
“I love you sober, and i love you hungover”
I really wanted to see something by Nick cave in here. There’s loads to choose from, but “Brother, my cup is empty” and “Thirsty dog” spring to mind. Though, admittedly, both of them are about the destructive elements of drinking and alcoholism – but you can still sing “Thirsty dog” loudly and boisterously, so it reclaims some ground with that.
Or “Oh, Jean” by The Proclaimers. Not actually about drinking, exactly, but if you ARE drinking and if it IS playing and you get to that point in the night where people are in the mood for it, then it’s the best song ever for a bit of dry humping.
Here’s another good drinking song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1CULMYgUfc
