40 Songs on the Subject of Getting Drunk

As an artist I must apologize for this list's lack of integrity. True commitment on my part would have required me to write this while drunk, and I am not. It has been suggested, though only by me, that this list - the whole site, really - would be best appreciated by you the friendly reader while you are drunk or on your way to becoming so. Perhaps together we could really make this into something. Bottoms up...

"Alcohol" Barenaked Ladies
“Why Don’t We Get Drunk” Jimmy Buffett
"Drinking On Your Dime" Jay Bennett & Edward Burch
"The Days of Wine and Booze" The Minus 5
“The Slow Descent Into Alcoholism” New Pornographers

"Drank Like a River" Whiskeytown
"Liquored Up and Lacquered Down" Southern Culture on the Skids

Lists are culled from my personal library and reflect what I listen to, so there are likely to be a few key omissions. If you feel I have overlooked something of great importance or have given your favorite artist short shrift I'd love to hear about it. Better yet, send me the album.
