If you don’t drink I am not trying to offend you but what are some of the best songs about drinking. One Bourbon , one scotch , one beer George Thorogood, Five o’clock somewhere, Margaritaville Buffet, Whiskey river Willie Nelson, Hank Williams jr All my rowdy friends have settled down. A few newer country tunes are Drinking problem by Midland, Bottoms up by Brantley Gilbert, and Designated drinker by Alan Jackson. What say you?

George Thorogood has several good drinking tunes. If you don’t start drinking, I’m gonna leave. I drink alone. And one bourbon, one scotch (not one shot), and one beer. I saw George at a dive bar in 1978 called the Rusty Nail, in Sunderland, MA before he made it big. The cover charge to get in was $2.00 and it was one of the best shows I ever had the pleasure to attend. At the time, George had just given up his aspersions to be a Major League Baseball player and decided to pursue his musical career full time. His career choice worked out very well.

Jose Cuervo
Song by Shelly West

Well it's Sunday Mornin'
And the sun in shinin'
In my eye that is open
And my head is spinnin'
Was the life of the party
I can't stop grinnin'
I had to much Tequila last night
Jose Cuervo you are a friend of mine
I like to drink you with a little salt and lime
Did I kiss all the cowboys?
Did I shoot out the lights?
Did I dance on the bar?
Did I start a fight?
Now wait a minute
Things don't look to familiar
Who is this cowboy
Who's sleepin' beside me?
He's awful cute, but how'd I
Get his shirt on?
I had to much Tequila last night
Jose Cuervo you are a friend of mine
I like to drink you with a little salt and lime
Did I kiss all the cowboys?
Did I shoot out the lights?
Did I dance on the bar?
Did I start a fight?
All those little shooters
How I love to drink 'em down
Come on bartender
Let's have another round [Modulates]
Well the music is playing
And my spirits are high
Tomorrow might be painful
But tonight we're gonna fly
Jose Cuervo you are a friend of mine
I like to drink you with a little salt and lime
Every time we get together
I sure have a good time
You're my friend
You're the best
Mi amigo
(Tequila)
Jose Cuervo you are a friend of mine
I like to drink you with a little salt and lime
Did I kiss all the cowboys?
Did I shoot out the lights?
Did I dance on the bar?
Did I start a fight?
Jose Cuervo you are a friend of mine

George Thorogood was always fairly well “put together “. Looked like he spent some time in the weight room . Thanks for the correction the Two Stars bourbon was typing for me last night🤪

“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

Driving While Blind

When you're driving down the highway at night
And you're feelin' that wild turkey's bite
Don't give Johnny Walker a ride
'Cause Jack Black is right by your side
You might get taken to the jailhouse and find
You've been arrested for driving while blind
Now just the other night with nothin' to do
We broke a case of proof 102
And started itchin' for that wonderful feel
Of rollin' in an automobile
You could say we was out of our mind
And let me tell you we were flyin' while blind
Then they had us up against the wall
Hey it's only blood grain alcohol
And there ain't no cause for alarm
We ain't out to do nobody no harm
How could anyone be so unkind
To arrest a man for drivin' while blind

All the tunes that everyone posted are excellent drinking songs or songs about drinking. The George Thorogood song “I drink alone” to me is just an instant classic. “ Whenever I drink alone I prefer to be by myself “. Does it get any better than that!
