10 of the best Songs about drinking that everyone needs in their playlist
1. Gin and Juice – Snoop Dogg
Take a listen: before the party.
We drink gin and The Dogg speaks out about one of our all-time pet peeves: when people don’t bring a bottle to parties and drink yours instead.
Best line:
‘Everybody got they cups, but they ain’t chipped in. Now this types of sh*t, happens all the time. You got to get yours but fool I gotta get mine’.
2. Cheers (Drink to That) – Rihanna
On Friday night, listen to it!
She’s ‘putting everything on her card’ as she gets fuelled up on Jameson and shots to celebrate the freakin’ weekend. What a great idea to spend the evening with RiRi!
Best line:
‘It’s getting Coyote Ugly up in here’.
3. Brass Monkey – Beastie Boys
If you’re feeling messy, listen to it.
There is some debate over what Brass Monkey actually is. The Brass Monkey cocktail, which contains rum, vodka, and orange juice, was reportedly mentioned in rap by MCA, Ad-Rock, and Mike D. The song may have been about a specific malt liqueur, Heublein’s Brass Monkey, whose sales spiked after the song appeared.
Best line:
‘Because I drink it anytime and anyplace
When it’s time to get ill I pour it on my face’.
4. Cigarettes & Alcohol – Oasis
Enjoy it: while chilling in the sun with a cold one.
During the recording of ‘Definitely Maybe’, Noel Gallagher told Q magazine that the album’s underlying theme was: ‘Let’s have it’. The songs all imagine running away from Manchester and enjoying a pint in the sunshine.
Best line:
‘You gotta make it happen!’
5. Drunk Girls – LCD Sound System
When you want a HARD party, listen to this!
Despite its title, this LCD Sound System banger is not actually about drunk girls, but drunk boys. ‘Drunk people and fun things’ are the theme of LCD’s song, according to lead singer James Murphy. In addition, the big boss called all of the boys in the LA mansion where the album was recorded ‘girls’.
Best line:
‘Drunk girls cause a couple of heart attacks’.
6. Summer Wine – Nancy Sinatra
This song is for reminding your single mate that boys and girls are untrustworthy.
After drinking copious amounts of wine with a woman, the song describes a man who is seduced by her. A dollar and a dime are taken from him after they sleep together, along with his silver spurs. He still aches for more of her ‘summer wine’ despite being robbed.
Best lines:
‘She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine’.
7. Alcohol – The Kinks
If you’re in the mood to wallow, listen to it.
It was only natural that the Kinks would remind us of the dangers of alcohol after all their fun songs.
Best line:
‘Memories I cannot recall,
Who thought I would fall a slave to demon alcohol’.
8. Alcohol – Barenaked Ladies
Make light of your God-awful hangover the morning after the night before with this song.
Best lines:
‘Would you please ignore that you
Found me on the floor
Trying on your camisole?’
9. Swimming Pools (Drank) – Kendrick Lamar
Take a listen: to gain an understanding of how the rich and famous (supposedly) party.
It’s safe to say that this song does not promote responsible drinking…
Best line:
‘First you get a swimming pool full of liquor, then you dive in it’.
10. Whiskey in the Jar – Thin Lizzy
Irish song about a highwayman robber betrayed by a woman tells the story of a highwayman robber set in Ireland. At least that’s what people interpret from the lyrics!
Best line:
‘Whack for my daddy, oh
Whack for my daddy, oh
There’s whiskey in the jar, oh…’
