Let's nitpick:

Misery and Gin Merle Haggard
One For My Baby Frank Sinatra
If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me (Her Memory Will) George Jones

Should have been on the goddamn list.

I think it's nigh impossible to put together a definative list of drinking songs. Everybody has a couple that are only peripherally booze related that makes their list due to nostalgia and whatnot. It's a good jumping off point though. I still don't understand the Beer Barrel Polka making the list but maybe since I live in the midwest where it's practically omni-present makes me hate it. Or the fact that it gets played at gaterings where one barrel would be a laughable amount of beer.
