The Nights of Wine and Roses – Japandroids
“So we down our drinks to the final friends and we burn our plans right down to the end. We don't cry for those nights to arrive – we yell like hell to the heavens.” This triumphant track from the Vancouver rock band is about drinking, enjoying the moment and leaving the worries behind.
Swimming Pools (Drank) – Kendrick Lamar
Off his acclaimed album “Good Kid M.A.A.D. City” from last year, this song became a radio hit and is about drowning sorrows by drinking. Keep your eye on Kendrick–Lady Gaga visited Pitchfork Festival last summer to see him!
Marvin’s Room – Drake
Drake talks about throwing a party and getting wasted after unhappily being in love. Relatable? Always.
Cheap Beer – FIDLAR
This track from an L.A. punk rock band became an instant favorite among music fans because of its abrasiveness, and its chorus: “I. Drink. Cheap. Beer. So. What. F@#$. You!”
Drunk Girls – LCD Soundsystem
One of the most universally loved bands, LCD Soundsystem describes the difference between drunk girls and drunk boys in this track. It also helps that the song features a perfectly danceable groove!

“Cause I drink it anytime and anyplace. When it's time to get ill–I pour it on my face.” What do you expect from a Beastie Boys song? Tons of upbeatness!
Gin and Juice – Snoop Dogg
The quintessential drinking song. As the title indicates, the song features lyrics about being heavily inebriated with gin and juice (shocker!) and it’s also one of Snoop’s most beloved songs!
Tubthumping – Chumbawomba
Bringing it back to the 90’s! “He drinks a Whiskey drink, he drinks a Vodka drink. He drinks a Lager drink, he drinks a Cider drink. He sings the songs that remind him of the good times, He sings the songs that remind him of the best times.”
