    You're right, Roadhouse Blues is the best drinking song of all time. Nightrain by GnR is also a pretty good drinking song and so is Cigarettes and Alcohol by Oasis.

    I agree with you on Roadhouse... second and third place both go to Ween...

    most people probably haven't even heard these... but thats ok its never too late to learn about these wonderful anthems:

    BOOZE ME UP AND GET ME HIGH:

    All that 'schlager at the bar
    Flakes of gold swim in my brain
    I ate the worm the night before
    And tonight I'll probably do it again
    Shotgun Becks down at the Shore
    I've got a friend at the liquor store
    Deaner likes his red wine dry
    So booze me up and get me high
    Booze me up and get me high
    Why don't you give it a try?
    Let the bottle do the work
    To ease the mind and soothe the hurt
    Me and George finish the Jack
    After drinkin' down my last six pack
    I'm not feelin' bad myself
    'Cause there's another bottle on the shelf
    Cribber likes his Guinness in cans
    And Andrew, he's a tequila man
    But it don't take much to get me high
    So booze me up and get me high
    Booze me up and get me high
    Why don't you give it a try?
    Let the bottle do the work
    To ease mind and soothe the hurt


    THE BLARNEY STONE:

    Get off my ass you wee bitty fuck
    If I pull out the Claymore you're shit outta luck
    Who's that girl, that pretty young thing
    After I fuck her she'll get up and sing

    Aye Aye Aye -- sharpen your boot, and bludgeon your eye
    Aye Aye Aye -- the Blarney Stone brings a tear to me eye

    Down to the pub for a two shilling ale
    The bread on the counter is going stale
    If I don't get some fresh bread soon
    Gonna punch you in your face and bark at the moon

    Aye Aye Aye -- sharpen your boot, and bludgeon your eye
    Aye Aye Aye -- the Blarney Stone brings a tear to me eye

    Ain't got no girl 'cuz I haven't the time
    Got too many other things on me mind
    Patty was nice she was pale and cute
    But I threw her away like an old piece of fruit

    Aye Aye Aye -- sharpen your boot, and bludgeon your eye
    Aye Aye Aye -- the Blarney Stone brings a tear to me eye

    Got ooze in my pores my feet are all wet
    Got mold in my ears but I ain't dead yet
    Got stones in me bladder got a crack in me head
    When Patty starts cryin' this is what I said

    Aye Aye Aye -- sharpen your boot, and bludgeon your eye
    Aye Aye Aye -- the Blarney Stone brings a tear to me eye

    Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more
    But fingers in a night gown sure I never saw before

    Cigs & alcohol by Oasis

    although it brings out the neds and chavs... (fuckheads in other words) :(
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    -that was always good advice.

    The future's uncertain and the end is always near.

    My favorite is the Wild Rover
    Cliche, I know.
    :)

    I've been a wild rover for many a year
    And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer,
    And now I'm returning with gold in great store
    And I never will play the wild rover no more.

    chorus: And it's no, nay, never,
    No nay never no more,
    Will I play the wild rover
    No never no more.

    I went to an ale-house I used to frequent
    And I told the landlady my money was spent.
    I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay
    Such a custom as yours I could have any day."

    chorus

    I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
    And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight.
    She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best
    And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest."

    chorus

    I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
    And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
    And if they caress (forgive) me as ofttimes before
    Sure I never will play the wild rover no more.
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
    He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn
    He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
    And they all looked very happy in the morning

    Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
    Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks
    When he'd had too many Powers
    So sad to see the grieving of the people that he's leaving
    And he took the road for God knows in the morning

    We walked him to the station in the rain
    We kissed him as we put him on the train
    And we sang him a song of times long gone
    Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
    (Far away) sad to say I must be on my way
    So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
    I'd like to think of me returning when I can
    To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane

    The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man
    I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane
    I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn
    And ended up a barman in the morning

    I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
    I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
    I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
    And some people left for heaven without warning

    We walked him to the station in the rain
    We kissed him as we put him on the train
    And we sang him a song of times long gone
    Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
    (Far away) sad to say I must be on my way
    So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
    I'd like to think of me returning when I can
    To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane

    When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone
    He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
    Some people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
    And he took the road for heaven in the morning

    We walked him to the station in the rain
    We kissed him as we put him on the train
    And we sang him a song of times long gone
    Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
    (Far away) sad to say I must be on my way
    So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
    I'd like to think of me returning when I can
    To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane

  • I've already seen my three faves to get wasted to (or to get me in the mood) on here -- Roadhouse Blues; One bourbon, one scotch, one beer; and Cigarettes and Alocohol.

    My mind isn't working this morning and I know I'm forgetting something....perhaps a few too many beers
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Not the best but i always liked Uncle Tupelo's I got Drunk

    Well I took a fifth, and I poured me a shot
    And I thought about all the things that I haven't got
    And I drank that down, and I poured me some more
    Kept drinking and pouring till I felt the floor

    I got drunk and I fell down
    I got drunk and I fell down

    Another slow day in this damn town
    Keep asking yourself "why am I still hangin' around?"
    You spend half your time just staring into a beer
    What you need, you know, you can't find here

    I got drunk and I fell down
    I got drunk and I fell down

    Well I took a fifth, and I poured me a shot
    And I thought about all the things that I haven't got
    And I drank that down, and I poured me some more
    Kept drinking and pouring till I felt the floor

    I got drunk and I fell down
    I got drunk and I fell down

    I got drunk and I fell down
