Face down in the gutter won't admit defeat
though his clothes are soiled and black,
he's a big strong man with a childs mind,
Don't you take his booze away! (hey!)

My woman says it's a shame how some men give their wives money, furs and jewelry
I come home, ain't got a dime, and smelling like a brewery.
I'm drunk again
I been drinking Gordon's Gin
I've tried to quit but it ain't no use
I just can't cut that juice...
uh, loose.

Drunk Again
Elvin Bishop/Paul Butterfield Blues Band

Right up there with "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" as the best drinking song ever.

Jim Beam's giving me the right to be wrong.

That Woman's Got me Drinking
By Shane MacGowan (1994)

For seven long years
She helped me spend my dough
Now I take her out
But she don't wanna know
That woman's got me drinking
Look at the state I'm in
Give me one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten bottles of gin

That woman's got me drinking
We used to have some fun
Now shrinks and astrologers
Have got me on the run
That woman's got me drinking
Look at the state I'm in
Give me one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten bottles of gin

She said she'd always love me
She said I'd be the one
Now look at the way she treats me
Just like a piece of scum
That woman's got me drinking
Look at the state I'm in
Give me one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten bottles of gin

If I had the guts to do it
I'd take a long goodbye
Instead I'll love her long and hard
And love her 'til I die
That woman's got me drinking
Look at the state I'm in
Give me one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten bottles of gin

Bottles of gin, bottles of gin, bottles of gin,
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten bottles of gin
"they thought i had guts
but they had it all wrong.
I was only frightened of
more important things."

"A johnny jump-up is a lovely thing
A pint of cider and some whiskey
I had four dead inside of me
Just to hear this jackass sing his line about
How he used to hang out somewhere "back in the day"
Knowing terms that only an asshole would say
So I sat there drinking more
Thinking about drinking more"

"now I'm reachin' for the phone
I don't wanna be alone
gotta get some friends here tonight
I've got a basement full of booze and some blues to lose
I'll ignore the whole world tonight, it'll be alright"

I'm Not DrunK (I'm Just Drinkin')
-- Albert Collins
Every day, baby
When the sun go down
I get with my friends
And I begin to drown
I don't care
What the people are thinkin'
I ain't drunk
I'm just drinkin'
(But you're so high) Oh man, you know I ain't high
(But you're so high) I just take a little bit every now and then
(But you're so high) Aw man you oughta be ...
(Stay drunk all the time) Aw c'mon, don't y'all be like that
Come home last night
All a lush
Baby get in a fuss
I say, "Honey, hush"
I don't care
What the people are thinkin'
I ain't drunk
I'm just drinkin'
(But you're so high) Aw, I ain't drunk, I done told y'all I ain't drunk
(But you're so high) I'm just havin' fun
(But you're so high) What? ....
(Stay drunk all the time) I don't know why y'all talkin 'bout me like that
You done the right thing
I wanna thank you too
Now let's have a little drink
Just me and you
I don't care
What the people are thinkin'
I ain't drunk
I'm just drinkin'
(But you're so high) Who me? I ain't high, man.
(But you're so high) I don't know why y'all are talkin' 'bout me like that
(But you're so high) You better mind your own business, brother
(Stay drunk all the time) You gotta watch yourself, too, you understand what I'm sayin'?
I wanna tip you baby
Before I go
I'll be back tomorrow night
And drink some more
I don't care
What the people are thinkin'
I ain't drunk
I'm just drinkin'
(But you're so high) Oh, no, you're the one who's drunk; look at your eyes, man
(But you're so high) Don't you pee on my leg, man...well, I ain't had but
(But you're so high) four...five...six...
(Stay drunk all the time) eight...nine...ten...

Alabama Song -- The Doors

Well, show me the way
To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

For if we don't find
The next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must die

Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you now why
No friend ever served me, and no enemy ever wronged me, whom I have not repaid in full. -- Sulla's Epitaph

Some great lines in "Bad Liver and a Broken Heart" by Tom Waits

Well I got a bad liver and broken heart,
I drunk me a river since you tore me apart
And I don't have a drinking problem, 'cept when I can't get a drink...

So buy this fool some spirits and libations, it's these railroad station bars
And all these conductors and porters, and I'm all out of quarters
And this epitaph is the aftermath, yeah I choose my path...

And some guy's trying to sell me a watch
And so I'll meet you at the bottom of a bottle of bargain Scotch
I got me a bottle and a dream, it's so maudlin it seems...

And I'll see your Red Label, and I'll raise you one more,
And you can pour me a cab, I just can't drink no more,
'Cause it don't douse the flames that are started by dames,
It ain't like asbestos
It don't do nothing but rest us assured,
And substantiate the rumors that you've heard
No friend ever served me, and no enemy ever wronged me, whom I have not repaid in full. -- Sulla's Epitaph

Dead Kennedys

Dead Kennedys "Too Drunk To Fuck"

Went to a party
I danced all night
I drank 16 beers
And I started up a fight

But now I am jaded
You're out of luck
I'm rolling down the stairs
Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk, to fuck
I'm too drunk, too drunk, too drunk
To fuck

I like your stories
I love your gun
Shooting out truck tires
Sounds like loads and loads of fun

But in my room
Wish you were dead
You ball like the baby
In Eraserhead

Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk, to fuck
It's all I need right now
Too drunk to fuck

Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
Too drunk, to fuck
I'm sick soft gooey and cold
Too drunk to fuck

I'm about to drop
My head's a mess
The only salvation is
I'll never see you again

You give me head
It makes it worse
Take out your fuckin' retainer
Put it in your purse

I'm too drunk to fuck
You're too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
It's all I need right now Oh baby
I'm melting like an ice cream bar
Oh baby

And now I got diarrhea
Too drunk to fuck
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah

Thirty-five dollars and a six pack to my name
Six-pack!
Spent the rest on beer so whos to blame
Six-pack!
They say Im fucked up all the time
Six pack!
What they do is a waste of time
Six pack!

I know itll be o.k.
I get a six pack in me, alright!

My girl friend asks me which one I like better
Six pack!
I hope the answer wont upset her
Six pack!
I was born with a bottle in my mouth
Six pack!
Now I got a six so Ill never run out
Six pack!

It's an old school classic
"That's only a problem if you stop drinking"

"Nationality? I'm a drunkard, and that makes me a man of the world"

Not sure if this is really in praise of boozing or not - but when im drunk i think it is:

undrunk - Tool

Theres a shadow just behind me. shrouding every step I take.
Making every promise empty. pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler, who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path of must we, just because the son has come.

Jesus, wont you fucking whistle. something but the past and done.

Why cant we not be undrunk? I just want to start this over.
Why cant we drink forever? I just want to start this over.

I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you. trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
I will work to elevate you, just enough to bring you down.

Mother mary, wont you whisper. something but the past is done.

Why cant we not be undrunk? I just want to start this over.
Why cant we sleep forever? I just want to start this over.

I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you. trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
Trust me. trust me. trust me. trust me. trust me.

Why cant we not be undrunk. I just want to start things over.
Why cant we sleep forever. I just want to start this over.

I want what I want...
I want what I want...
I want what I want...
I want what I want...
