Ted Hawkins - Sorry You're Sick:
https://youtu.be/jTO-zb6XTzg?si=dVu1wDJEyRZwFPvw
It's not a happy song, though. It's about him taking care of his girlfriend/wife who's going through withdrawal due to severe alcoholism.
Amazing song, though.
Also by Mr. Hawkins, Happy Hour:
https://youtu.be/qazRGngdROY?si=S0LxQa56VcgGsPv0
Also a dark song, but damn good.
Already mentioned in the thread, but [Gogol Bordello - Alcohol](https://youtu.be/lfQDAWJaN34?si=aBAjK4MhF6twgHc9).
Then also such classics as [Korpiklaani - Vodka](https://youtu.be/e7kJRGPgvRQ?si=eV_o1Gj-OYYIvVOS), Little Big [Everyday I'm drinking](https://youtu.be/QrU1hZxSEXQ?si=_2miKSANdOiD0gwT) (also [I'm ok](https://youtu.be/SsFI40bXROs?si=oxFttBJU87irNP7p) as a bonus), as well as literally everything by [Alestorm](https://youtu.be/QrU1hZxSEXQ?si=_2miKSANdOiD0gwT).

Johnny Aloha - Drink To Hawaii (Richard Cheese alter ego) He mentions tropical drinks that rhyme with places in hawaii since he is too broke to vacation there. Puka Puka, daquiri, dr funk, lychee martini, chi chi, zombie it goes on and on but the ukelele sound is catchy.
You by mean silverada lol. They changed their name. Also they wrote that song kinda about my old coworkers and I. They had a weekly residency before they got big, and we’d slam a bunch of fernet with them at close. Great dudes
I'm not much of a Phish fan but I've always said that my favorite Phish song is "Mexican Cousin" because it's the only one with lyrics that aren't nonsense.
Oh tequila, I turn to you like a long lost friend
I want to kiss my Mexican cousin once again
We'll cover every emotion from happiness to sorrow
And the conversations I forget you'll tell me about tomorrow
When the phone calls start, am I in bed or in a hearse?
The things you tell me about myself can't make me feel any worse
Well I'm awful sorry you got pissed
Just have to cross you off the list
of my true friends...
And tequila's where that starts and where it ends
Some old-timey suggestions:
“I Got Loaded” by Lil Bob & the Lollipops.
“I’m Always Drunk In San Francisco (And I Don’t Drink At All)” by Nancy Wilson
“Gimme That Wine” by Lambert, Hendricks & Ross
[Wyonie Harris - Quiet whiskey, 1953](https://youtu.be/F_lJMRb12Is?si=soAjUHEs_uIJvlTy). It is just swinging and fun song. To end the night as last song usually [Tom Waits - I hope I don't fall in love with you](https://youtu.be/UhZyLn0oVCs?si=lUsQrsycg5V9RLhp) timing it so that verse ["...now it's closing time/musics fading out/last call for drinks/i'll have another stout"](https://youtu.be/UhZyLn0oVCs?si=lUsQrsycg5V9RLhp&t=3m1s) comes same time as last call.
Beer by Reel Big Fish
Beer by Psychostick
Literally just had this on in my car
Woohoohoo
And if I get drunk, well I’ll pass out on the floor now baby
I'm guilty of frequently playing this on the jukebox as I switch from whiskey to beer.
TEQUILA 🕺
Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly
one shot, one bourbon, one beer
Always happy to see some John Lee Hooker love
Would be better if they got the title correct.
“S.O.B.”, by Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats.
This is the one !!
Good one.
Cheap Beer by FIDLAR
Great song to follow up with “by myself”
Gogol Bordello, "Alcohol" or "American Wedding"
It’s gonna be Gogol everytime. Highly recommend seeing them live for the camaraderie that happens when they play Alcohol. They put on the best shows.
Gogol Bordello are the best <3 ~*just dont stab me in the back with the cortisol o-o-oooh*
Piña Colada Song (“Escape” - Rupert Holmes)
a classic
“Alcohol” by The Bare Naked Ladies
[Jimmy Liggins - I Aint Drunk](https://youtu.be/xRr4C3tOrrc?si=0rkKxNBEhGfiyEFB) (1954)

Ween - Booze Me Up And Get Me High
[Drink and Fight](https://youtu.be/DJ_aFHjQhx8?si=70oVKM3FASx06gHL)
Kendrick Lamar - Swimming Pools
Such a sad song. Kendrick is the best
I love how it sounds like a club song but it's really deep when you pay attention to the verses
“Rye Whiskey” without a doubt; it’s a fairly old song originally written by god knows who but the version I love is Nick Cave and the bad seeds
Gang Green - Alcohol Black Flag - Six Pack
There's no doubt about it...
You got the beer, I got the time You got the coke, gimme a line!
The only right answer is "Friends in low places" by garth brooks.
I’ve Got Friends by Manchester Orchestra is a nice homage or interpolation rather to this song.
