Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing?

Van Morrison - "Here Stands The Glass"

The Rodeo Song by Garry Lee and Showdown

A while back ago I was doing youtube searches trying to find Jackson Browne singing Cocaine, and I came upon this guy named Jackson Taylor singing a different song titled Cocaine. There was a repeated line, "I like the cocaine, I like the whiskey too," but throughout the whole video he and the band were throwing back shots while they performed. It was enough to make me want to toss back a couple, but my gastrointestinal system doesn’t handle it well anymore.

I haven’t bought his CD and I won’t because I’ve subsequently heard him interviewed and although I appreciate his sentiments regarding drugs and alcohol,  he’s a bit to red for me, but on that CD there are also songs  titled Jack’s Drunk Again and Whiskey Drinking Song.

(Which also reminds me to mention Nazareth: Whiskey Drinking Woman and the title song of the album, Hair Of The Dog.)

Stompin' Tom Connors, Sudbury Saturday Night

"Knockin’ Lost John" -- The Band

"(Last Night) The Bottle Let Me Down" -- Merle Haggard

"John Barleycorn Must Die" -- Traffic

Merle Haggard's "Back to the Barrooms" is pretty much a whole album devoted to this subject.

Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whiskey

Chris Stapleton - Whisky and You

Chris Stapleton- Might As Well Get Stoned

Chris Stapleton - Was It 26

or just get his Traveler album and be done with it.

George Jones - This Bottle (in my hand)

"Open" by The Cure.   A song about getting drunk after their own shows, at their own shows.  Pretty descript.

I really don't know what I'm doing here
I really think I should've gone to bed tonight
But "Just one drink and there're some people to meet you
I think that you'll like them
I have to say we do
And I promise in less than an hour
We will honestly go"

"Now why don't I just get you another
While you just say hello
Yeah just say hello
Just say hello"

So I'm clutching it tight
Another glass in my hand
And my mouth and the smiles
Moving up as I stand up
Too close and too wide
And the smiles are too bright
And I breathe in too deep
And my head's getting light
But the air is getting heavier and it's closer
And I'm starting to sway
And the hands all on my shoulders don't have names
And won't go away
So here I go
Here I go again

Falling into strangers
And it's only just eleven
And I'm staring like a child
Until someone slips me heaven
And I take it on my knees
Just like a thousand times before
And I get transfixed
That fixed
And I'm just looking at the floor
Just looking at the floor
Yeah I look at the floor

And I'm starting to laugh
Like an animal in pain
I've got blood on my hands
I've got hands in my brain
And the first short retch
Leaves me gasping for more
And I stagger over screaming
On my way to the floor
And I'm back on my back
With the lights and the lies in my eyes
And the colour and the music's too loud
And my head's all the wrong size
So here I go
Here I go again

Yeah I laugh and I jump
And I sing and I laugh
And I dance and I laugh
And I laugh and I laugh
And I can't seem to think
Where this is
Who I am
Why I'm keeping this going
Keep pouring it out
Keep pouring it down
Keeping it going
And keep pouring it down
And the way the rain comes down hard
That's the way I feel inside

I can't take it anymore
This it I've become
This is it like I get
When my life's going numb
I just keep moving my mouth
I just keep moving my feet
I say I'm loving you to death
Like I'm losing my breath

And all the smiles that I wear
And all the games that I play
And all the drinks that I mix
And I drink until I'm sick
And all the faces I make
And all the shapes that I throw
And all the people I meet
And all the words that I know
Makes me sick to the heart
Oh I feel so tired
And the way the rain comes down hard
That's how I feel inside

The way the rain comes down hard
That's how I feel inside

Gary Stewart  I've Got This Drinkin' Thing

Gil Scott-Heron:  In the Bottle

Lucinda Williams - "Drunken Angel"

The Derailers - "Bar Exam"

Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez - "Must be the Whiskey"

The Handsome Family - "So Much Wine"

You have to mix it up a little with Tone Loc’s Funky Cold Medina.

I recommend throwing some of the "Parental Advisory:  Bastard and Bitch scumbag positioning content" into your mixes, just to make sure it has to be a fighter, for sure, since the guys people don't care about since they always think it's their good never think they'll have to care about that.

Didn't Katrina And The Waves do a song titled Red Wine And Whiskey?

It was the pilot song on their first album in 1985.

So sayeth the magic box.

@thecarpathian , okay. I actually bought that on cassette in ’87 because one morning on my way to work the DJ played a Katrina And The Waves song from that CD or album titled "Mexico" that really stuck to me. However, I no longer have that cassette, or if I do I don’t know where it is.

 Here are two German beer drinking songs embedded to two German/Swiss musical beer steins with musical movements.  Notice something about the movements?

I would probably put  almost anything by Shane MacGowan as a good song to get loaded while listening to.

  Now that was a man in need of a dentist but death got him first.

@vitussl101  , I was doing a google trying to find the name of a song and it appears as if he did find a dentist before he died?  

Anyway, I was thinking that the title of the song I was looking for (what I thought would be a drinking song) was Christmas In The Drunk Tank, but actually it was titled Fairy Tale Of New York.
