10 Greatest Drinking Songs

Just like there are great alcoholic drinks, there is also a list of the 10 greatest drinking songs of all time. No matter who you are, you can agree that these songs would fit at least somewhere on your top picks for your favorite drinking songs ever.

1. “Say Aah” by Trey Songz celebrates what is known as the champagne life and women. Even though it hasn’t been around for too long, it’s a universal all-time drinking song that almost anyone could enjoy while sipping on their drink.
2. J. Kwon’s “Tipsy” is one of those songs that were written specifically in recognition of alcohol. There wasn’t much time invested in the lyrics apparently, but it’s one of those songs that you can instantly relate to once it begins playing.
3. “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” throws a bit of nostalgia at its drunken audience, and that might be why it’s one of the greatest drinking songs. Whether you’re young or you’re old, you’re likely to be drunkenly singing along with this one in the bar or at the party.
4. Def Leppard was doing something right when they wrote “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” as it can still make a massive group of intoxicated bar patrons go nuts. Play this song and watch the dancing quickly commence.
5. Even though “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns ‘n Roses has been remade over and over again, it still remains a classic on the list of drinking songs. There’s no doubt that this one has probably been played while you were getting your drink on and rocking out.
6. “Summer of ‘69” by Bryan Adams can only be literally related to by those old guys sitting at the bar or playing pool, but it’s still a hit that is loved by everyone. Many drink to forget an unsuccessful love, but this song is great for those who love to reminisce on their summers of love!
7. When you’re walking up to your bar of choice, you might be able to hear “Friends in Low Places” by Garth Brooks blaring from the inside of the building. This is because it just so happens to be one of the best drinking songs of all time.  It’s a song specifically written about drinking away a former significant other, and it’s quite popular among the single crowd!
8. When you hear the Who’s “Baba O’Riley,” you probably picture teens getting intoxicated off of their parent’s Triple Sec. With its tantalizing opening synth notes, it’s easily one of the greatest drinking songs of all times. Once you’re drunk, you might start referring to this song as “Teenage Wasteland.”
9. On karaoke machines and jukeboxes across the world, you’re sure to find a copy of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.” This song might be the anthem of all venues that serve alcohol, and this is why it’s one of the best drinking songs ever.
10. Jimmy Buffet’s “Margaritaville” debuted in 1977, and almost 35 years later, it’s still highly recognized among the drinking crowd. It’s a song that captures the evidence of alcohol and paradise quite nicely, and you’ll instantly feel loads better once this smash hit starts playing.
