The fifty best drinking songs

Raise a toast to the greatest drinking songs always recorded almost beer, whiskey, wine and White Lightning

Booze and music become together similar Jack Daniels and Coca-Cola. Is in that location any meliorate shared experience than when the correct song hits the jukebox at the summit of the night in a crowded bar, and everyone stops to raise a glass and sing along?

In all honesty, whatsoever vocal tin exist a drinking vocal if it plays at the right moment, with the correct level of intoxication. Just truthful drinking songs are something else entirely – they speak to the experience of getting buzzed in a style even teetotalers can understand and appreciate. They besides transcend genre: the best drinking songs can be Irish folk tunes, shout-along punk anthems, chest-rattling hip hop party jams or sombre reflections nigh the morning after. And, of course, not all of them actually gloat drunkenness – call up 'Swimming Pools (Drank)' by Kendrick Lamar. Merely for our purposes here, we're mostly ignoring the songs about the nighttime side of alcohol, and focusing on those that recognise that making bad decisions is an important office of life.

Best drinking songs, ranked

'Brass Monkey' by Beastie Boys

Paradigm: Def Jam

1. 'Brass Monkey' by Beastie Boys

It'due south an obvious observation, but this vocal came out before the Cyberspace. Which means that I – like tens of thousands of 12-twelvemonth-olds in 1986, I would imagine – was unable to immediately figure out what the hell the B Boys were whine-shouting about. I'll acknowledge information technology: I thought the rap was near a monkey. And then, in high school, I learned from friends that a Brass Monkey was a sort of gutter mimosa – malt liquor and O.J. Gross. Then, in college, thanks to the World Wide Web, I discovered the source of that funk-skronk horn: Wild Sugar'southward deep-disco cut, 'Bring Information technology Hither.'Rad. And they say friends are improve than the Internet.

'Streams of Whiskey' by The Pogues

Epitome: Stiff

2. 'Streams of Whiskey' past The Pogues

In i of the folk-punk outfits peppiest (or at least whistle-iest) hits, Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan spins a yarn about a dream he had (presumably not while sober) of walking mitt in manus with Irish gaelic poet Brendan Behan and learning of an afterlife where the chocolate-brown stuff flows in rivers. (At that place'due south also talk of a 15-beer bender, considering The Pouges are gonna Pogues). Forced to choose one Pogues song — this list could have been null but Pogues songs — information technology's 'Streams of Whiskey' by a drinker's nose.

'Gin & Juice' by Snoop Dogg

Image: Interscope

3. 'Gin & Juice' by Snoop Dogg

This was the beginning rap song to provide high-schoolhouse parties with a cocktail recipe right in the title. Well, juice can be expensive. But 'Gin & Gatorade' just doesn't have the same mellifluousness. On a side note, when'southward the last time you heard someone refer to weed every bit 'indo'? 1994?

'White Lightning' by George Jones

Image: Ace Records

iv. 'White Lightning' by George Jones

Beer and whiskey odes abound, but there aren't too many moonshine songs. But this one, really. Perhaps that'south because folks who drink methanol-laden Mountain Dew finish up wearing overalls with one strap and having just as many teeth. Written past the Large Bopper, he of the Day the Music Died, 'White Lightning' took George Jones to No. 1 in 1959. Essentially, this was the 'Sippin' on Some Syrup' of the Eisenhower era.

'Lilac Wine' by Nina Simone

Image: Philips Records

5. 'Lilac Wine' past Nina Simone

Originally penned in 1950 for a theater revue, 'Lilac Wine' has been covered past such greats equally Eartha Kitt, Jeff Buckley and, er, Miley Cyrus. But but the High Priestess of Soul is able to give this moody ode to infatuation the drama and chill its lyrics and melody beg for. In her 1966 interpretation, her voice prowls around the vocal's deliciously night lyrics similar a true cat, and for the listener, intoxication is inevitable.

'Whiskey River' by Willie Nelson

Image: Atlantic

6. 'Whiskey River' past Willie Nelson

Some consideration was given to 'I Gotta Become Drunk,' a 1970 Willie tune covered wonderfully past Phosphorescent in 2009. Merely that was the brusk-haired, clean-shaven Willie. On principle, nosotros went with this archetype off of Shotgun Willie, from the dawn of his stoner-cowboy era. Even though information technology was written by Johnny Bush, the song belongs to Willie, as essential to him as long braids and a bandanna.

'Tequila' by the Champs

7. 'Tequila' by the Champs

This two-minute instrumental – an ode to the magical elixir that needs but a one-word introduction – was recorded in 1958 by the Champs and written past Danny Flores, the vocalization behind the three mischievous utterances of 'tequila' spoken throughout and the man responsible for the tune's trademark 'dingy sax' solo. Nosotros'll say this – the song gets us dancing even quicker than tequila does.

'Too Drunk to Fuck' by Dead Kennedys

Prototype: Cherry Red Records

viii. 'Too Drunk to Fuck' by Dead Kennedys

Hey, it's happened to the best of us. This 1981 surf-stone-heavy single was the fourth from the California punkers, who pigment an exaggerated party picture mostly to offend music-industry prudes. Although the song reached No. 36 on the U.K. singles chart, information technology was ofttimes banned or censored, leading the Kennedys to supply a sticker for tape shops reading 'Circumspection: You are the victim of yet some other stodgy retailer afraid to warp your mind by revealing the title of this record, so skin slowly and meet…' Nice bear on, Biafra.

'Sippin' on Some Syrup' by Three 6 Mafia

Epitome: Loud Records

9. 'Sippin' on Some Syrup' by Three 6 Mafia

Cough medicine plus Sprite, plus Jolly Ranchers. Holy shit, people drink that? Sprite? Look, when you're broke, y'all have to get creative with your addictions. Anything tin can become a addiction. Equally Pimp C proclaimed in this song in 2000: 'We eat so many shrimp, I've got iodine poisoning.' So how did this Memphis hip-hop troupe go on to win an Oscar in 2006, for 'It's Difficult Out Hither for a Pimp'? Even pharmacists would have a hard time finding rhymes for promethazine and hydrocodone.

'Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)' by the Doors

Image: Elektra

10. 'Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)' past the Doors

Penned by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill for the incendiary 1930 opera Rise and Autumn of the City of Mahagonny, this song was originally performed by a chorus of prostitutes. This more than famous cover was recorded by the Doors in 1966 with a carnivalesque sound that perfectly illustrates what it's like to be smashed and along for the ride (which Jim Morrison very likely was).

'Friends in Low Places' by Garth Brooks

Image: Capitol Nashville

11. 'Friends in Depression Places' past Garth Brooks

Y'all tin't assistance merely sing along with the common people at the local watering hole when the jukebox starts playing Garth Brooks'south 1990 ode to drinking the blues away. You'll suddenly find yourself line dancing with folks you lot've never met and seeing if your vocal register can go to those low places in the song's signature chorus. And, of class, at that place will exist plenty of whiskey and beer flowing. Fun fact: In the perfect marriage of vocal to hapless sports team, the Kansas City Royals (ii winning seasons in the last 19 years) adopted 'Friends in Depression Places' every bit their sixth-inning sing-forth anthem. It serves equally a constant reminder to beleaguered fans that misery loves company…and booze.

'Tubthumping' by Chumbawumba

12. 'Tubthumping' by Chumbawumba

Anyone who knew of the British anarcho-punk band in their indie days must've been completely baffled when the group signed to a major in the mid-'90s and hit information technology big with this exuberant ode to getting drunk, getting knocked down and getting back up again. It persists as a source of inspiration for suburban normies, but that'south sort of the point - the band has described the song as being about 'the resilience of ordinary people'. Information technology also catalogs their curious drinking habits. A whiskey drinkable, a vodka drink, a lager beverage and a cider drink? Mayhap stop mixing your alcohol and yous won't fall down so much.

'Here Comes a Regular' and 'Beer for Breakfast' (tie) by the Replacements

Image: Sire

thirteen. 'Here Comes a Regular' and 'Beer for Breakfast' (tie) by the Replacements

From what I've heard and seen on YouTube of their early concerts, the Mats made all their songs drinking songs. The gloriously shambolic punk stuff raged like an adolescent who's seen a specter of his older self simply ahead, slumped at a local bar and stamped with a gas-station name tag. Conversely, young Paul Westerberg's ballads carried the sadness of a middle-aged nobody yearning for his salad days. Somehow, the Minnesotans shifted between these two gears without blowing the clutch, equally heard in these corresponding cuts from 1985 and '87.

'There's a Tear in My Beer' by Hank Williams Sr.

Paradigm: warner Bros.

14. 'In that location'south a Tear in My Beer' past Hank Williams Sr.

Though only ane carried the title outright, all of Williams'due south songs were 'Long Gone Lonesome Blues' at centre. The Alabama-born fable was tough as an old strip of ass hasty, withal many of his songs revolved effectually crying. Information technology made him more of a homo – a man with a leather liver. 'These last 9 beers,' he sings in that high hillbilly whine on this Nashville session, have but convinced him: 'I'k gonna proceed drinkin' until I'm petrified.' A couple years afterwards, in 1953, they pulled his body out of a Caddy littered with beer cans and lyric sheets.

'Drunken Lullabies' by Flogging Molly

Image: SideOneDummy

fifteen. 'Drunken Lullabies' by Flogging Molly

When y'all're a few drinks in, at that place's something about driving rhythms and violin melodies that makes yous desire to sing along at the meridian of your lungs. Celtic punks Flogging Molly understand this phenomenon well, then it stands to reason that the championship track of their 2002 tape is a song near the songs you belt out subsequently a few shots of whiskey.

https://media.timeout.com/images/105800431/image.jpg

'Why Don't We Get Drunk' by Jimmy Buffet

Image: MCA

16. 'Why Don't We Get Drunkard' by Jimmy Cafe

Seems old Jimmy stopped looking for that shaker of salt, shrugged and switched his focus to hooking upwardly with some other drunk at the bar. On a water bed, no less. Because of class Jimmy Buffet – in his pre-Margaritaville country phase of the early '70s – does gross things on a h2o bed.

'Shots' by LMFAO featuring Lil Jon

Epitome: Interscope

17. 'Shots' by LMFAO featuring Lil Jon

We hate this song every bit much as yous do. Of class we do. But the entire belly-shot community would beg to differ. And answer united states of america this: Has whatever slice of music better imitation the jackhammering headache of a Russian-course hangover?

'Cheap Beer' by FIDLAR

Image: Mom + Pop Records

18. 'Inexpensive Beer' past FIDLAR

'Beer's always better with a bag effectually it,' the skater punks of FIDLAR (an acronym for Fuck It, Dawg, Life'southward a Chance – really) proclaim over polluted waves of chaff-surf guitar in this 2013 burner. 'I! Drink! Cheap! Beer! So! What! Fuck! You!' shouts the chorus. Gotta respect a band whose entire raison d'être is to score shitty brews via tour riders. Would you really rather listen to Animal Collective, hippie?

'Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down' by Kris Kristofferson

Paradigm: Capitol Records

19. 'Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down' by Kris Kristofferson

Most of the songs on this listing celebrate nights of debauchery, simply only Kris Kristofferson thought to pour one out for the blurry morning after. The country troubadour's ode to forenoon beers, sleepy urban center sidewalks, fried-chicken envy and pounding headaches is one of the loveliest state tunes always written (Johnny Cash does a stellar take): Far from a Hangover- style  (or Katy Perry's 'Last Friday Night') recap of a rowdy night, Kristofferson's song is a serenity, cogitating number that pops with descriptive verse and introspection. Now somebody makes this man's wish come up true and get him stoned.

'Pass the Courvoisier, Part II' by Busta Rhymes

Prototype: Flipmode Records

20. 'Laissez passer the Courvoisier, Part II' past Busta Rhymes

Likely in abiding rotation on Ladies Human being Leon Phelps' playlist, this megahit for Busta came at the top of hip hop's obsession with luxury items, just don't worry, it'due south just every bit smoothen if you lot're drinking Black Velvet while listening. Rhymes'southward signature rat-a-tat growl pairs nicely with the slick Neptunes beat, with Diddy and Pharrell even showing upwardly to affirm that yes, they besides would enjoy a glass of Courvasier.

'Happy Hour' by the Housemartins

Epitome: Go! Discs

21. 'Happy 60 minutes' past the Housemartins

Is this 1986 Brit hit the chirpiest drinking song on our list? We're going to say aye, based on its jangly Smiths-esque guitars, 200 proof sing-alongability and the fact that information technology's officially impossible to sentry the video without a grinning on your face up. Ready in a proper British boozer (translation: 'pub'), the vid features a sweetly awkward trip the light fantastic toe routine and Claymation; plus, bully-eyed viewers volition notice that the Housemartins' bassist is a very immature Norman Cook, a.k.a. Fatboy Slim. Fancy that.

'Tipsy' by J-Kwon

Paradigm: Arista

22. 'Tipsy' by J-Kwon

An infectious hip-hop celebration of getting buzzed, 'Tipsy' has been setting off parties ever since it dropped in 2004. The hook couldn't be simpler: 'Everybody in the guild gettin' tipsy' (followed by a Ying Yang–fashion whisper of the aforementioned line), repeated iv times. St. Louis rapper J-Kwon may have been a fresh-faced 17-yr-old when he released this trip the light fantastic toe-floor classic (public service reminder: teen drinking is very bad!), merely he proved wise beyond his years in post-obit hip-hop's gold rule: society + alcohol = success.

'Beer Run' by Todd Snider

Paradigm: Oh Boy Records

23. 'Beer Run' by Todd Snider

Snider, an Americana alt-country folk-rocker from Memphis, penned this jocular anthem, near underage frat boys looking to score some brewskies earlier a Robert Earl Keen evidence, in 2002. Information technology's tongue-in-cheek storytelling at its best, and Snider's spell-it-out chorus has become a universal party cry for – y'all guessed it – more beer.

'Whiskey in the Jar' by Thin Lizzy

Decca

24. 'Whiskey in the Jar' by Sparse Lizzy

Phil Lynott and crew recorded the definitive version of this traditional Irish folk song, about an outlaw who robs a wealthy Englishman, just to be betrayed by his lover when his defenses are down (read: when he's absolutely sloshed). Metallica, the Pogues and fifty-fifty Bryan Adams have tried their easily at it, simply nothing comes close to the Dublin-based ability-foursome's emotional yet hard rocking take.

'Kiss the Bottle' by Jawbreaker

Prototype: Blackball

25. 'Kiss the Bottle' by Jawbreaker

With this, punk'southward most heartwrenching tune near alcohol, the Bay Area trio made living under a bridge and eating dumpster burritos seem utterly romantic in 1992. Hyperliterate squatter-bard Blake Schwarzenbach'south vocals rasp and scratch like a man intimately acquainted with liquor and smokes: 'I kissed the canteen / I should take been kissing you.' Aww, my tears are gonna smear the ink on my 'zine.

'One Beer' by MF Doom

Image: Rhymesayers

26. 'One Beer' by MF Doom

On an anthology devoted to his favorite foods (Mm.. Food), British MC Daniel Dumile finds the fourth dimension to acknowledge his favorite beverage. Beginning with a boast well-nigh drinking other MC'southward under the table, the masked rapper goes on a stream of consciousness tear atop a Madlib beat. It's a track that'due south meant to exist savored, just like the concluding can of beer in the fridge.

https://media.timeout.com/images/105800431/image.jpg

'Lived in Bars' by Cat Power

Epitome: Matador

27. 'Lived in Bars' by Cat Power

Our drinking listing oscillates betwixt the celebratory and the self-loathing, betwixt songs for drinking and songs virtually drinking. Frankly, I'm not certain where to file this precious stone from 2006. Chan Marshall's backstory and the languid offset half suggest the latter. Merely so in that location are the lyrics – 'There's nothing similar living in a bottle!' – and the shoo-wop swing of the upbeat climax, not to mention the bittersweet beauty of her voice. But I guess that's what makes this song, and True cat Power, great: You tin can have it both ways, and typically exercise.

'Pop Bottles' by Birdman (ft. Lil Wayne and Jadakiss)

Prototype: Cash Money

28. 'Pop Bottles' past Birdman (ft. Lil Wayne and Jadakiss)

Back when Lil Wayne and Greenbacks Money Records co-founder Birdman were on good terms, the pair teamed up for this champagne-soaked canticle congenital on the back of a Jadakiss sample. While information technology's fun to hear the duo describing their expensive jewelry, shoes and Marc Jacobs glass, the real takeaway for here is 'beginning with straight shots and then pop bottles.'

https://media.timeout.com/images/105800431/image.jpg

'En El Cielo No Hay Cerveza (In Heaven There Is No Beer)' by Flaco Jiménez

Image: Compadre Records

29. 'En El Cielo No Hay Cerveza (In Heaven In that location Is No Beer)' by Flaco Jiménez

Ah, the existential justification for drinking beer. Originally equanimous for a German language movie in 1956, this song (also known every bit 'The No Beer Polka') has been covered by a plethora of polka bands, translated into both English language and Castilian. In our favorite version, 2003's 'En El Cielo No Hay Cerveza' past Flaco Jiménez, nosotros get to gloat the earthly pleasance in all iii languages.

'Have Another Drink' by The Kinks

Image: RCA

30. 'Have Some other Drink' by The Kinks

'Has everybody got issues?' Ray Davies rhetorically asks like a carnival barker greeted past a chorus of 'yeahs' on this Kinks classic. Here, booze is a cure-all for everything from low to shitty jobs, media-based fears and full general colorlessness. Information technology's a rollicking number with a hint of nihilism that makes Davies sound similar he might have been the inspiration backside the bartender from The Shining.

'One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer' by George Thorogood and the Destroyers

Paradigm: Aladdin

31. 'One Bourbon, I Scotch, Ane Beer' by George Thorogood and the Destroyers

This drinkin' blues song was beginning recorded in 1953, condign one of several of its kind to reach the Top 10 on the Billboard R&B chart. John Lee Hooker popularized the melody with his 1966 cover, but Thorogood took information technology to a whole new level of bitching and moaning in his 1977 version, borrowing another of Hooker'southward songs, 'House Hire Boogie,' to serve as a backstory to explain the sorry singer's situation. Someone please requite the human his drinks and shut him up already.

'The Blarney Stone' by Ween

Image: Elektra

32. 'The Blarney Stone' by Ween

Ween's nautically themedThe Mollusk is packed with unexpected twists and turns, none more raucus than this satirical Irish bounding main shanty so disarming in its chants of 'Aye, aye yes, acuminate your boots and bludgeon your eyes' that y'all can practically smell the stale beer wafting from the speakers. It's glorious nonsense in the best manner possible.

'Six Pack' by Black Flag

SST

33. 'Six Pack' by Black Flag

Sure, it's a sarcastic harangue against excessive drinking - vocaliser Henry Rollins was a militant teetotaler, and the hardcore trailblazers' intense schedule didn't go out much room for hangovers. But if you're already sloshed, it's easy to hear equally a defiant, shout-along anthem for the inelegantly wasted: 'I've got a six pack and nothing to do! I've got a six pack and I don't need yous!' Damn right, bro!

'After the Afterparty' by Charli XCX (ft. Lil Yachty)

Photograph: cousindaniel.com

34. 'Later on the Afterparty' by Charli XCX (ft. Lil Yachty)

You've already closed down one bar, taken the coiffure to a friend'south place and had a few as well many drinks, but Charli XCX and her pal Lil Yachty see no problem with keeping the party going... forever. This supremely confident pop tune is one for the folks who don't know when to stop (for improve or worse), consequences, weeknights and pesky neighbors be damned.

'I Like Beer' by Tom T. Hall

Image: Mercury

35. 'I Like Beer' by Tom T. Hall

Gee, this stein-swinging sing-along from 1975 makes drunks seem quaint and adorable. Like commercials with horses falling in love with puppies. Not like raging douchebags who get into fights near football and fall in the street.

'Beer' by People Under the Stairs

Image: Om Records

36. 'Beer' by People Under the Stairs

This L.A. rap duo is hardly a household name. That seems to be somewhat intentional, equally Thes 1 and Double Thousand never had greater aspirations than to throw a ridonkulous house party, and no desire to have hip-hop beyond the scratch heyday of two turntables and a microphone. God bless 'em. 'To my liver and kidneys, your time is near / Y'all like hangin' on Twitter, and nosotros similar beer,' proclaims K. The 2009 video is an homage to Laverne & Shirley. These dudes would make a great sitcom, too.

'Milk and Alcohol' by Dr. Feelgood

Image: United Artists

37. 'Milk and Alcohol' by Dr. Feelgood

The Big Lebowski may have cornered the market on White Russian references in popular culture, only this (rhythmically) chugging delight from bluesy Brits Dr. Feelgood gives dairy its sonic due. Written by Nick Lowe (after a night spent drinking Kahlúa and watching John Lee Hooker perform), its seedy stomp and heavy riffing positively ooze the illicit joys of a night on the town. Warning: may non exist suitable for the lactose intolerant.

'I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink' by Merle Haggard

Image: MCA

38. 'I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink' by Merle Haggard

Drinking until your problems disappear probably isn't audio advice, simply coming from Haggard it virtually sounds like wisdom. Recorded in 1980 on the heels of the Hag'southward 3rd marriage, this whiskey-soaked state carol probably works best when you lot're wallowing in heartbreak, simply anyone should exist able to appreciate the cheesy saxophone solo.

https://media.timeout.com/images/105800431/image.jpg

'Bank Holiday' by Blur

39. 'Depository financial institution Holiday' past Blur

As an American, the closest thing I have to a banking concern holiday is Presidents' 24-hour interval, which is inappreciably a rousing cause for shouting 'Prost!' (Notation: If Abe Lincoln is an excuse for you to beverage, you are a raging alcoholic.) But this 1994 Britpop punker gave me a snapshot of U.K. binge civilization in 1 minute and 42 seconds. 'Bank holiday comes with six-pack of beer! And so it'due south back to piece of work! Ay! Ay! Ay!' Albarn barks in a hops-soaked slur. Funny how Blur and Oasis fans fought. They all wanted a drink.

'Have a Drink on Me' by AC/DC

Image: Atlantic Records

forty. 'Accept a Beverage on Me' by Air-conditioning/DC

Some might find it morose to include artists like Janis Joplin and Elliott Smith – who died young after wrestling with their demons – on a list about booze. Then in that location'south Air conditioning/DC. Frontman Bon Scott attended his final recording session with the group in Feb 1980, working with Malcolm and Angus on this rail. Days afterwards, he was dead from booze poisoning. What did the band practise? Mope? No, it hired a new vocalist and threw this cut on Back in Black .

'Cheers (Drink to That)' by Rihanna

Image: Def Jam

41. 'Cheers (Drink to That)' by Rihanna

A toast to our interns, who chided us for overlooking this my-first-reggaetón chillaxer from 2010. 'Don't permit the bastards get you down,' RiRi sings in her patois. Bones Rihanna rule: The more Caribbean she sounds, the better. Jameson Irish whiskey gets plugged heavily over a sample of Avril Lavigne, which reeks of product placement (there's a shout-out to Ray-Bans, likewise, official hangover concealer of Rihanna), but at least it's not Malibu.

'Warm Beer and Cold Women' by Tom Waits

Paradigm: Asylum Records

42. 'Warm Beer and Cold Women' by Tom Waits

…makes the rankings on title alone. Simply this creaky weeper from 1975's Nighthawks at the Diner manages to rhyme 5 ermouth with Naugahyde booth, too. Admit it: Young-barfly Tom Waits totally destroys old-man-in-a-rusty-shed-with-a-mule Tom Waits.

'Drunk Girls' by LCD Soundsystem

Epitome: DFA

43. 'Drunk Girls' by LCD Soundsystem

Is 'Drunk Girls' LCD Soundsystem's finest hr? No, of grade not. But does it feel like a night of reckless boozing in New York Urban center? Admittedly. James Murphy himself has described the 2010 unmarried as 'dumb.' But, he added, 'I like dumb, short stuff.' More than reasons to dig 'Drunk Girls'? The wince-inducing video, codirected by Spike Jonze, shows Murphy and the LCD crew being manhandled by malevolent pandas. Dumb 'n' brusque 4 evah.

'Shot For Me' by Drake

Photograph: CC/Wikipedia/Young Money Amusement/Cash Money Records/Universal Democracy Records

44. 'Shot For Me' by Drake

If this alcohol-soaked R&B ode to sometime flames sounds similar something that the Weeknd should be singing, that's just because Abel Tesfaye actually wrote it. Released back when Drake was extremely in his feelings and fancied himself a singer (also equally a rapper), 'Shot For Me' finds the Canadian star spitefully reminding his exes to call up merely how keen he was when they knock back a glass of Canadian Club, or whatever folks shoot in Toronto.

https://media.timeout.com/images/105800431/image.jpg

'Cigarettes, Whuskey, and Wild, Wild Women' by Sons of Pioneers

Prototype: RCA Victor

45. 'Cigarettes, Whuskey, and Wild, Wild Women' past Sons of Pioneers

A sing-songy ode to the insanity-inducing allure of tobacco, chocolate-brown liquor and the fairer sex, this old-timey barn-burner has been covered a billion or so times, with Cadet Owens, Jim Croce and Ron Forest all offer upwards solid versions. The best, though? Information technology's the version performed by Peter Sellers and a cadre of felt hillbillies in covered-carriage times during his hosting stint on The Muppet Prove . And no, nosotros didn't just make that up because we've been drinking 'whuskey' while writing.

'Drunk in Love' by Beyoncé

Prototype: Columbia

46. 'Drunk in Love' by Beyoncé

Yes, ostensibly it's a honey song, simply c'mon, Beyoncé was likely deep in her cups final year when she blurted the non sequitur hashtag 'Surfbordt!' Ditto for Jay-Z, who could not have been sober when he wrote, 'Your breastesses is my breakfast.' I call back he stole that from Bukowski?

'Whiskey Girl' by Gillian Welch

Image: Acony Records

47. 'Whiskey Girl' by Gillian Welch

At that place are drinking songs to quaff to, and there are drinking songs to listen to at 4am while you pour out another whiskey and your mind turns over what could've been, or where you could get cigarettes at this 60 minutes. Taken from Gillian Welch'southward exquisite, dour 1998 album, Hell Among the Yearlings, 'Whiskey Daughter' falls into the latter category – and how.

'One Mint Julep' by Louis Prima

Image: Columbia

48. 'I Mint Julep' past Louis Prima

Fleeting happiness in the brume of a drunken hour: Many songs have trod this path, simply in the words of this jazz-pop standard, 'One mint julep / Was the commencement of it all.' Originally a hit for '50s doo-wop group the Clovers on Atlantic Records, the tune tells of stealing an intoxicated kiss from a woman afterwards one sweet, minty cocktail, only to get hitched (at her father's demand) and end up confused, hungover and the begetter of six kids. Quite the tipple. Though Ray Charles's 1961 instrumental cover fabricated it a hit, Louis Prima's unmistakably comic tone gives his version the edge.

'Bubbles in my Beer' by Bob Wills

Paradigm: MGM Recordings

49. 'Bubbles in my Beer' past Bob Wills

Eventually covered by the likes of Willie Nelson and George Jones, this 1947 Western swing standard may well have started the sub-genre of woeful country songs almost drinking away your sorrows. Information technology'due south bit antiquated and a little depressing, but it'due south one of the jauntiest tunes about self-absorbed contemplation you lot'll always hear.

'You and Me and the Bottle Make Three' by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

Image: Miramax

50. 'You and Me and the Bottle Make Three' by Large Bad Voodoo Daddy

Back in the '90s, the universe declared that what America needed was a big-band swing revival, and BBVD led the charge with this boozy canticle that ensured a whole subculture would suffer concussions due to ill-advised swing dancing afterwards several drinks. (Whether it besides resulted in a fasten in dancefloor-based concussions is unknown.) The song got huge via the picture showSwingers... then disappeared from the collective consciousness along with the Red ' Daddies. But when it resurfaces, it'due south a stealth hit for anyone who ever used 'that's so money' in coincidental conversation.
