Song by Tom T. Hall

I don’t believe I saw this one on the list.

Hank Williams Jr- Whiskey bent and hell bound

Interesting that a habit that causes so many physical and mental health problems and is literally classified as a disease receives so much glorification.

99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall — Andy Kaufman

Little known and didn't  receive any airplay was David Allen Coe's (need a little time off for bad behavior)  Probably wouldn't relate to it unless you were a blue collar!

@thecarpathian

I hear what you’re sayin but have you listened to these songs? Many / most are about despair and real darkness of the soul. These are so relatable points in some peoples lives that there are phrases about it "cryin in your beer"

Personally I’m interested in the portrayed emotions these songs illicit.

From the happy everything’s OK Margeritaville tune who’s underlying message is the realization that from "It’s nobody’s fault" to "It’s my own damn fault"

Or the Randy Newman tune Guilty (which I’m undecided on which is better Randy’s or Jo Cocker’s)

"And ite takes a whole lot of medicine For me to pretend that I’m somebody else"

Or Tom Wait’s inebriated portrayal in the "Piano’s been drinking"

Most of these songs are about something.

And CHEERS to everyone who’s added to my musical journey.

Commander Cody: Wine Do Yer Stuff, Lost in the Ozone

Ry Cooder: I’m Drinkin’ Again

Jimmy Buffet: God’s Own Drunk

Taj Mahal: Diving Duck Blues

Jerry Jeff Walker: Sangria Wine

The Country Side of Harmonica Sam, Sweden's (and maybe the world's ) greatest honky-tonk band:

A Double Shot of Heartache

Forbidden Wine

A Drink After Midnight

I Drink Because I Care

I’ve known and played with a coupla guys who drank themselves to death. In 2001 I did an album (Moontan) with Evan Johns, recorded in Atlanta, Georgia. We (his band on the album) checked into the hotel a day after Evan had arrived, and the next morning we passed his room on the way to the studio, and outside his door were two empty 18-packs of Budweiser cans. I had heard about his drinking, but that’s a lotta damn beer! Evan drank Budweiser non-stop the entire week, eating a meal only once.

One day on a break between songs, Evan and I retired to the dirt lot behind the studio (to share a Jazz cigarette), and he said to me "Drinking’s not a problem, as long as you stay away from the hard stuff." Well, as the album was being mixed and a USA tour was being set up, Evan was one day not feeling well. He went to the emergency room in British Vancouver (where he was living), and after being admitted fell into a coma. The docs told his woman to start making funeral arrangements, Evan was in the final stage of liver failure.

Evan fooled them again! We learned this was the third time it had happened, and after a few weeks he just sat up one day and asked where his guitar was. He fully recovered, but made it to only sixty years of age, dying in Austin Texas in 2017. A maniac Telecaster player!

The other guy was also a talented guitarist (you wouldn’t recognize his name), from the Santa Cruz, California area. When his bassist (a member of Los Straitjackets for the past quarter Century) and I shared a house with him in North Hollywood in late-1978, I witnessed him start his days with a few Vodka’s-on-the-rocks for breakfast. At night it was the same for dinner. He made it to only his late-30’s. He was the orneriest SOB I’ve ever known, a real mean drunk.

Anything by the band Tankard.

I just remembered "Whiskey Train" by Procol Harum.

I'm a little late to this party but I suggest this, Zac Brown band song Castaway if you haven't heard it, give it a listen. Cheers

The Siegel-Schwall Band.   "When I've Been Drinkin'"
                                             "I Think it was the Wine"
 

Wilco - Passenger Side

Turnpike Troubadoors- “Gin, Smoke, Lies”

Gatlin Brothers - Midnight Choir (Mogen David)

Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs - "Bottle of Wine"

Here’s Evan Johns’ tongue-in-cheek song "Dear Doc", in which he asks for a little help with his health issues (brought about by his drinking):

And here’s a video made nine years ago, in which Evan discusses the real life consequences of his drinking. It’s pretty heartbreaking:

@thecarpathian I don't think it's glorified. But it would pretentious to not see the link between drinking, music, and musicians. I think historically, there was nothing else for the working class as a relief from the pain called life than to listen to live music and/or sing, drink, maybe dance too. A serious trend now is that Millennials and Gen Z are drinking way less than previous generations.

@bdp24 One of my closest friends is 76, drank and smoke his entire life 10+ beers and 15+ cigarettes a day. He has decent health, overall, may be better than mine and we are 20 years apart. He slowed down significantly though in the last few years and needless to say, he never ran half marathons.

@danager ​​​​@grislybutter ,

You guys are right, glorifying isn’t an apt description.

I needed to look at it from the message perspective, not the volume of works.

Roy Buchanan

"Beer Drinkin' Woman"

Nazareth

"Whiskey Drinkin' Woman"

Lot of songs here that are great to drink to but not necessarily about drinking--i assume that's what you meant so couple more:

Tom Waits--Jockey Full of Bourbon

Roy Eldridge and Hot Lips Page--They Raided the Joint (i prefer Asleep at the Wheel's version)

Avett Brothers--When I Drink

Delbert McClinton - Two More Bottles Of Wine

Here’s one for you @thecarpathian. Hollywood Vampires - My Dead Drunk Friends. Couldn't figure out how to get YouTube link to post here.

Thanks,

aldnorab

@aldnorab ,

Just watched it on YouTube.

The irony was not lost on me. It made me think of ironic drinking toasts such as 

"To your health!" while the one giving the toast is destroying his. I suppose drinking is like anything else in life, you control it or it controls you.
