late to the drinking songs listing but kinda tipsy to make up for it
"Say it Ain't So" - Weezer - Fun, singalongable but not so funny, about not wanting to realize you inherited alcoholism from your father and step-father.
"Slow Decent Into Alcoholism" - New Pornagraphers - Just catchy and great.
"The Good Times are Killing Me" - Modest Mouse. Starts with the line "Is there an ashtray in here?"
For the uber depressing drinking mix: "The Bar is a Beautiful Place" - Ryan Adams, "You. Will?" - Bright Eyes, "Whiskey Bottle" "Moonshiner" - Uncle Tupelo, "Between the Bars" "Last Call" - Elliot Smith
These are all from a recent mix I made called Alcamahol. Purpose for mix: going away party. For myself. I am moving to Chi-town. I will be at my new residence in the Edgewater area 'round Feb. 1. I can't believe I am leaving my beloved Lawrence, but I love Chicago and couldn't be more excited.
Also, loved your mix msbelle. I was so happy to get buffista mail!!
eta: more drinking songs, both kinda sad: "Still Be Around" Uncle Tupelo - that contains some of my favorite lines "When the bible is a bottle and the hardwood floor is home/When morning comes twice a day or not at all" and "True to Life" which contains the lines from my current and long-standing tag "True to life is another hangover/True to life is more and more politics" also the lovely "Dancing with the Women at the Bar" Whiskeytown
