    Love Chris Thomas King. What a classic voice.

    How about Omar and the Howlers, Alligator Wine? (Originally, I think, by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.)

    I think of drinking songs as more participatory and fun, rather than sad songs about drinking.

    For work, we’ve taken quite a few trips to Stockholm, where there’s a very common song to start things off, Halen Gar. During one trip, which happened to be during the Crayfish Festival, we had a wonderful time with many fun songs: http://sweden.se/traditions/the-crayfish-party/
    I didn’t speak any Swedish, but could contribute “The Chemists Drinking Song” which went over very well.
