   Rye Whiskey (aka Drunken Hiccups)

   How about "Whiskey In the Jar" by Thin Lizzy.

   "Whiskey River" - by just about anybody. I'm partial to Willie Nelson though.
   
   "Let Me Go Home, Whiskey" - again by just about anyone. I kinda like Ann Rabson's version
   
   "Cigarettes and Whiskey" - the version I have is Ramblin' Jack Elliot
   
   Anything but "Margaritaville" - nice tune and I love Buffett, but isn't this like one of the most overplayed song, ever?

   I couldn't find any video of the above, but here is a guy doing a very credible rendition of Cider, by Bruce Molsky.

   The song title must have some kind of booze in the title.

   
   
   Sorry, I misread that. Okay: Goodbye Booze -- Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers.

   Scotch and Soda
9. By banjo brad. Comment posted 27-Feb-2011 @04:57pm:

   "Bottle of Wine" - written and performed by Tom Paxton
   
   "Scotch and Soda" - it's alright by the Kingston Trio, but I heard a better version once, by a blues singer
   
   Glass of Gin - (Toot my own horn, so to speak)

25. By AirForceOne. Comment posted 27-Feb-2011 @05:48pm:

    Red Red Wine by UB40, Neil Diamond or Tony Tribe and others.
    
    Actually I go with Michael Myett and Whiskey in the Jar by Thin Lizzy as my real favorite booze song.
    
    We also used to sing One Tequila, two Tequia, three Tequila floor, but not sure if there is a real song that comes from.

    Little Glass of Wine - Stanley Brothers
    
    Wine Me Up - Faron Young.
    
    Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down - Merle Haggard (tho' I suppose that could be a bottle of of non-alcohol, tho' THAT seems unlikely.)
    
    So, if that doesn't work, Poison Whiskey - Lynyrd Skynyrd

    Aaaaaaaaaaggghgghh!
    
    Unfortunately, you are right. Diamond's version was so lame, though, that he later started doing UB40's version. Bob Marley did a great one, too.

32. By NiceJean. Comment posted 27-Feb-2011 @06:13pm:

    Away, Away, with Rum by Gum!
    
    AWAY WITH RUM
    
    We're coming, we're coming, our brave little band;
    On the right side of temp'rance we now take our stand.
    We don't use tobacco because we all think,
    That the people who do so are likely to drink!
    
    Chorus:
    Away, away with rum, by gum,
    With rum by gum; with rum by gum.
    Away, away with rum by gum;
    The song of the Salvation Army.
    
    We never eat cookies because they have yeast;
    And one little bite makes a man like a beast.
    Oh, can you imagine a sadder disgrace
    Than a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face?
    
    We never eat fruitcake because it has rum,
    And one little slice puts a man on the bum.
    Oh can you imagine a sorrier sight
    Than a man eating fruitcake until he gets tight?
    
    The man who eats fruitcake leads a horrible life,
    He's mean to his children and he beats up his wife.
    The man who eats fruitcake dies a terrible death
    With the odor of raisins and rum on his breath.

    No no no, it's:

    Rum and Coca-Cola.... Andrews Sisters

    
    
    Meg_Mac I like Run and Coca-Cola as well. I never really paid attention to the song until I heard the bit about "mother and daughter work'in for the yankee dollar".
    Sung long before the Andrews Sisters.

    I like Thin Lizzy's version but this is one of my all time favorite videos because of the way the Dublin audience is into it, the famous Irish traditional song...

    I'd also add Jerry Jeff Walker and his excellent recipe for Sangria Wine.
