My best friend and I would listen to this song all of the time in college.
A man's bar is his castle, and this stool is my throne.
Why am I such an asshole? And why am I here alone?
So many drinking songs, so little time to get drunk. Burp.

Good stuff there toomuchcountry. I think I have about half of those in my collection. I made a quick drinking/booze playlist yesterday and came up with 230 songs.
Truersound - there can never be too many drinking mixes.
Done. Added my short list with accompanying YT vids. HTML doesn't work well in comments to add the link. But its at toomuchcountry.blogspot.com.
One of my favorite "drinking" songs is When I Drink by The Avett Brothers. No truer words spoken, er sang.
Some great tunes.
The Gourds version of Gin & Juice is better than the original, some other favourite whiskey tunes.....

No River City - Dissolved in Your Whiskey
Lennie & the Piss Poor Boys - Lonely Days And Whiskey Nights
Cam Penner - Rye Whiskey
