OT: Favorite Drug or Drinking Related Songs

by **Peartree12249** » Sun Apr 19, 2009 11:41 am

Well it's Saturday night and my husband is upstairs playing "computer games" :wink:

and I'm downstairs watching NASCAR with the dog. So I'm bored! Back in the day, this would have been my big party night and, well... ok I'll admit it, I've been known to have been overserved a time or two or partaken of an illegal substance in my wasted youth. I'm glad to say I lived to tell about it and avoided prison time. :lol:

Today, I really don't recommend it. However, after reading some of the posts on MR I would bet that a few of you may have also or perhaps still do. So I'd like to know what's your favorite drug-related and/or drinking songs.

To start things off here's "Sam Stone" by John Prine

"Illegal Smile" John Prine (This song begins at 3:12 you can fast forward)

I don't know if it's related but when ever I hear this song, I want to grab a pint.

I tried coco puffs once, Yuch. Cocaine and marijuana don't mix well, and the smell is disgusting.

Saw him with Journey and Foreigner opening for the Stones in 81. The Delaware Destroyers blew everybody off the Stage.

Yeah me too, it was either late 70's or early 80's. I saw him a couple of times at Summerfest in WI. He put on an awesome show.
