Thin Lizzy - "Whiskey in the Jar" (or is that not really about whiskey?)
U2 - "Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World" (about staggering home drunk)
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Dead Kennedys - "Too Drunk to Fuck"
...and if you're after a more tasteful version there's a lounge-y cover on the "Nouvelle Vague" album.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Maybe a little too obvious, but 'Alcohol' by Barenaked Ladies?

Awesome.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Didn't The Replacements have a song (or a lyric) called "How Did the Vomit Get On the Ceiling?"?
I'm also fond of "Alcohol" by Beck:
Alcohol leaving me dry
now it is time for pie
taking them as they come
alcohol please give me some

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Which is a cover of the original Tom Paxton song.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Or "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer", also by George Thorogood. Maybe you just want to pick up the greatest hits.

May as well pick a Jimmy Buffett collection while you're there, too.
