I've been working on Sangria Wine by Jerry Jeff Walker because my neighbor serves Sangria on Friday afternoons in the summer (the best time to be a neighbor in this neighborhood).

It's official. If he can do those songs live then Badeye has to come to the July river jam. I'm starting the Badeye River Jam Scholarship Fund with $20. Who else is in?
tequla sunrise by the eagles, Tear in my beer, Hank Williams Jr

George Thorogood and the Destroyers: "I drink alone"
But for good old fashioned pub/bar songs with a humorous twist. John Roberts and Tony Barrand's album; "Live at Holsteins!...Eat Bertha's Mussels." I have the album and it's a treasure!!

Great video, Badeye. Albert Collins finger picks a mess of lead guitar on his Telecaster and is one scary looking dude. He had that crowd right where he wanted them.

I can't look at Albert Collins without first hearing "Nobody leaves this stage without singing the blues." As I've said before my mind is filled with lyrics and movie clips (and sadly government regulations, but that part pays the bills). Who remembers the movie the scene I'm thinking of comes from? If you remember the lead actress, that'll be 125 extra points.

Whitewater55, were you referring to "Bottle of Wine Fruit of the Vine"?
Yes, indeedy, I was. It was a big hit in the late 60's or early 70's. Can't recall the band that recorded it, though.
I play it regularly on my pub nights.
"I Like Beer" is simply awesome, especially the sing-a-long chorus.
Also, how about Willie and "Whiskey River", where he is actually singing the song to a bottle of whiskey. That's some serious drinking right there when you start singing to the bottle.
I do "I Like Beer" as a campfire song. It usually gets a few people singing along and a little clanking going on when people shift their chairs. We went so late playing around the campfire last August with Dirty Ed that I fell asleep upright in my chair with my guitar on my lap. It was the clanking bottles when someone got up to leave that woke me. I hope I wasn't playing a song when I fell asleep. That particular night my bottle was filled with Sweet Tea.
I'm not sure this qualifies as a drinking song, but it gets sung a lot when the liquor has been flowing. "Cover of the Rolling Stone"
After 8 beers or so around a campfire, that song, and "Mama's Got a Squeeze Bos" get sung and played, loudly, and, well drunkenly. Do they qualify as drinking songs? Personally, I only do them when I'm nearly snoggered.
"One Bud Wiser" Gretchen Wilson

Actually she's got quite a few, apparently she went from bartender to super star. Her voice is a little extra twangy for my taste, but it's real and that's the part I like about it!
That's cute, MKM. Never heard that one before.
A little nasal twang never hurt anybody.
There may be a place in a country drinking song medley for a few lines from that song.
Thanks
WW55,cool! Any fun song is a drinking song when you're snoggered.
