songs about drinking

The all-time songs aren't all about heartbreak you know! Many-a-musician has made an ode to drinking too. Here are fifteen of our favourite drinking related songs...

i. Gin and Juice – Snoop Dogg

Listen to information technology: at your pre-party session.

The Dogg makes an ode to our favourite tipple – gin – and addresses our all-fourth dimension beef: when people turn up to a party without a bottle and cease upward drinking yours.

All-time line:
'Everybody got they cups, but they ain't chipped in. Now this types of sh*t, happens all the time. Y'all got to get yours but fool I gotta get mine'.

2. Thanks (Drink to That) – Rihanna

Listen to it: on Friday night!

Hither Rihanna gets fuelled upwards on Jameson and shots in commemoration of the freakin' weekend – and she's 'putting everything on her card'. A nighttime out with RiRi sounds smashing!

Best line:
'It's getting Coyote Ugly upwardly in here'.

3. Brass Monkey – Beastie Boys

Listen to it when: you lot're in the mood to get messy.

Exactly what Brass Monkey is, is up for debate. Some say that MCA, Advertizing-Stone and Mike D were rapping most the Brass Monkey cocktail – rum, vodka and orangish juice. But it's more probable that the tune was dedicated to a specific malt liqueur, Heublein's Brass Monkey, sales of which exploded after the song was released.

Best line:
'Because I drink it anytime and anyplace
When it's time to get ill I cascade it on my face up'.

4. Cigarettes & Alcohol – Oasis

Mind to information technology: when you're chillin' in the sun with a beer.

Back in the twenty-four hour period, Noel Gallagher told Q mag that there was an underlying theme for the album 'Definitely Perhaps', which was: 'Let's have it'. All the songs dream nearly leaving Manchester and running abroad to the sunshine with a pint in manus.

Best line:
'You gotta make information technology happen!'

v. Drunkard Girls – LCD Sound System

Listen to it: when yous desire to party HARD!

This LCD Audio System banger is confusingly non actually near drunk girls, simply drunk boys. LCD atomic number 82 human James Murphy told Pitchfork mag that the song is most 'boozer people and fun things'. He also explained that all of the boys in the LA mansion they recorded the album in were called 'girls' by the large boss.

Best line:
'Drunk girls cause a couple of heart attacks'.

6. Summer Wine – Nancy Sinatra

Heed to it: to remind your unmarried mate most the untrustworthiness of boys/girls.

We can interpret the song as beingness well-nigh a man who gets seduced by a woman later on drinking copious amounts of wine with her. She takes his silverish spurs, a dollar and a dime after they sleep together. Simply despite being robbed, he even so aches for more of her 'summertime wine'.

All-time lines:
'She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And and so she gave to me more summer vino' .

seven. Alcohol – The Kinks

Listen to it: when you want to wallow.

After all of their fun songs, The Kinks decided to remind us of the perils of alcohol

Best line:
'Memories I cannot recall,
Who idea I would autumn a slave to demon alcohol'.

8. Alcohol – Barenaked Ladies

Mind to it: the forenoon afterwards the night before, to make calorie-free of your God-awful hangover.

Best lines:
'Would you delight ignore that you lot
Found me on the floor
Trying on your camisole?'

9. Swimming Pools (Drank) – Kendrick Lamar

Listen to information technology: to go an insight into how the rich and famous (supposedly) party.

Permit's simply say that this vocal certainly doesn't promote responsible drinking

Best line:
'Starting time you get a swimming pool full of liquor, then y'all dive in it'.

10. Whiskey in the Jar – Thin Lizzy

This famous song, set in Republic of ireland, tells the story of a highwayman robber who gets betrayed by a woman. Well, that's what people divulge from the lyrics anyhow!

All-time line:
'Whack for my daddy, oh
Whack for my daddy, oh
At that place'southward whiskey in the jar, oh…'

11. Escape (The Piña Colada Song) – Rupert Holmes

Mind to it: while you're sunbathing on a tropical beach, with a Piña Colada in hand.

The lyrics tell the tale of a bored married man writing a lone hearts ad, in the promise of finding a flake of excitement.

Best line:
'Yes, I like Piña Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
I'k non much into health food, I am into champagne'.

12. Moonshiner – Bob Dylan

Archetype harmonica vibes and Mr. Dylan'southward deep reflections on his long love affair with booze.

Best line:
'If whiskey don't kill me
I don't know what will'.

13. Carmine Wine – UB40

Mind to it: when you've just been dumped.

Human does heartbreak hurrrrrt. Music legends UB40 have constitute the remedy in a canteen of juicy ruby wine.

Best line:
'Reddish cherry-red wine y'all requite me whole heap of zing
Whole heap of zing make me do me ain matter'.

fourteen. Drink You Away – Justin Timberlake

Mind to it: when you need to relate to someone who is also going through an awful suspension up.

JT has turned to Jack and Jim for comfort after his break up, but it seems to have done cypher for his shattered heart.

Best line:
'All of these rocks, I can't swim out of the skin I'g living in'.

15. Drunk in Love – Beyoncé

Mind to it: when you desire to get in the… ahem… mood!

No alcohol playlist is complete without Bey's kinky contribution!

Best line:
*Blushes*…  we'll leave you to Google the lyrics…
