A few newer country tunes are Drinking problem by Midland, Bottoms up by Brantley Gilbert, and Designated drinker by Alan Jackson. What say you?
“I Had But Fifty Cents”, first recorded in the 1920s by Riley Puckett, but it is older than that. Here is my favorite version, by R. Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders. (Crumb is best known for his comic books.) The drink references are in the second verse. https://youtu.be/VTPYMCqWOKU
