Any country song.

May have missed it, but didn't see this one on your list (right up there with the Fender lawsuit stuff for the time).

@danager  I think you missed what is arguably the greatest drinking song of all time.  George Thorogood - I Drink Alone.    What the heck, throw in his cover of John Lee Hooker - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.

- Hank Thompson: "A Six Pack To Go"

- Merle Haggard: "I Think I’ll Just Stay Here And Drink"

- George Strait: "Cold Beer Conversation"

- George Jones: "Please Don’t Sell Me Anymore Whiskey Tonight"

- Emmylou Harris: "Two More Bottles Of Wine"

Louis Jordan - What’s the use in getting sober

Tom Waits - 2:19

Gillian Welch - Tennessee 

 

Billy Joel - Captain Jack

"Margaritaville"-Jimmy Buffett

"Georgia In A Jug"-Johnny Paycheck

Although "Margaritaville" is mainstream it is still a great song. Paycheck is an "Outlaw Country" favorite of mine and "Georgia In A Jug" is top shelf(pun intended)!

Chumbawamba Tubthumper

UB40 Red Red Wine

The Doors:  Alabama Song and Back Door Man

@bigtwin +1 I drink alone

Golden Earring - Radar Love and Twilight Zone

To amend my earlier post I ain't drunk was by Albert Collins not Louis Jordan

Stevie Ray Vaughn “Life by the Drop”

How could “If You Don’t Start Drinkin” by George Thorogood not be at the top of the list?😂

The Devil Makes Three - Drunken Hearted Man

Lil Ed & The Blues Imperials - 20% Alcohol

Pat Travers Band - Snortin' Whiskey and Drinkin' Cocaine

Skynyrd - That Smell

Thin lizzy- whiskey in the jar. 

In the folk music realm, drinking songs are endless. I'm at work. I can't spend the time thinking them up. Here is what might be THEE best drinking song ever!

Stick To The Craythur by The Green Fields of America

Stick To The Craythur (Live)

Delbert McClinton Covering, “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” 

“What's the Use of Gettin' Sober (When You're Gonna Get Drunk Again)”

 by Louis Jordan

 

Rudy Vallee  -  The Maine Stein Song

When we would leave for the airport to go on a family trip we would always play...

Drunk on a plane

It's 5 o'clock somewhere

Toes

Friends in low places by garth Brooks is a classic

Set ’em up Joe - Verne Gosdin

 

One of my favorites. Classic VG vocals. 

"Tubthumping" – Chumbawamba

"Red Solo Cup" – Toby Keith

"tequila" – the champs

"Piano Man" - Billy Joel

"Closing Time" – Semisonic

Speaking of Billy Joel

 

"Scenes from an Italian Restaurant"  may qualify. 

Los Lobos- I Got Loaded

Ray Charles- Let’s Go Get Stoned

Stones- Walk Before They Make Me Run

Ray Charles/Betty- Baby, it’s Cold Outside

Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond

Delilah- Tom Jones

Red Red Wine - UB 40

I’m going to be - The Proclaimers

Build me up buttercup - The Foundations

 

Just for something different.

 

I'm surprised how milk-toast a bunch of these are.  Have you never heard of Jerry Jeff Walker, whose goal was to be "passed out on stage"?  Maybe we should be looking for audiophile versions.....

+1 @theCarpathian

but to be specific:

Garth Brooks - Friends in Low Places

and the best drinking song:

David Allen Coe - You Never Even Call Me By My Name

 

+1 Jerry Jeff Walker - Up Against the Wall Red Neck Mother

Dead Kennedys - Too Drunk to F*ck.... 

Chris Stapleton. Many drinking songs. Traveler is a good album.

Whiskey and You

Tennessee Whiskey 

Wine, Wine, Wine -- The Nightcaps (and covered by many others)

Spill the Wine--Eric Burden and War

Elderberry Wine--Elton John

Just the Wine--Heart

Ray Wylie Hubbard - Drink Til I See Double (& Take One of You Home)

Jon Pardi - Tied One On

David Allen Coe - The Perfect Country & Western Song

Jimmy Buffet...God's Own Drunk

Foghat - Trouble, trouble

John Lee Hooker - Whiskey and Women

Feist - Brandy Alexander

 

Snortin' Whiskey Drinkin' Cocaine - Pat Travers

Baddest of the Bad - Reverend Horton Heat

Six Pack - Black Flag

"Scotch and Soda". The Kingston Trio

Asylum Street Spankers - Beer

   "I tried them all and it might sound queer

    But my favorite drug is an ice cold ....."

  Best heard in a bar.

 

Drinkin’ is a fools paradise - most surviving humans have quit.

Mess around with your own longevity at your own risk.

You too will give it up once BPH sets in.

The Animals - Good Times

Jimmy Buffett, Wasted away in Margaritaville.

Sweet Wine of Love - Robin Trower

Mull of Kintyre - Wings - although technically about a place in Scotland, McCartney and Laine composed it while drinking a bottle of whiskey and it just sounds like a song that the entire bar would sing along to if they've had enough to drink.

You got Uncle Tupelo’s Whisky Bottle but missed their other song I Got Drunk.
