I was listening to I Am Kloot this morning and was enjoying especially 'To the Brink'. It's a great drinking song. Not in an 'Irish Rover' kind of way, it's just rather laconic and is about drinking. The lyrics are sublime too, I Am Kloot are very good songwriters as well as excellent musicians. It got me thinking of other songs about drinking. I'll avoid the Pogues as that's a bit cliched and the most apt one from the Beautiful South - "Ol' Red Eyes" is not a favourite of mine so I'll go for the songs below. Please feel free to let me know what you would pick.
I Am Kloot - 'To the Brink'
Tom Waits - 'The Piano Has Been Drinking'
Primitives - 'Carry Me Home'
