Description:
...or "drinking to make music to drink to"

>>>There is always talk of "smoking a blunt and listening to Led Zep," but why aren't people drinking beers and listening to Hank Williams (or insert band listed below) in such large numbers? Obviously many musicians have been influenced by weed as well as many other substances and weed is a more practical choice for many as a substance to better enjoy music, but there are those among that like our music soaked in alcohol and experienced with drink in hand. I feel there is music that is very much complimented by alcohol and it is rarely given its due. Of course I do enjoy the music of many
stoners, junkies, and cokeheads, but drunks most of all.
>>>It pisses me off that junkies have a respectable anthem in "Heroin" by Velvet Underground, potheads have "Rainy Day Women" by Bob Dylan, cokeheads have "Teenage Depression" by Eddie and the Hotrods, and that much of the time drunk anthems are limited to "Margaritaville" or whatever Lil Jon is singing about getting "crunk." Why are the drunk anthems not "This Drinkin' Will Kill Me" by Dwight Yoakam? Or "Had Me a Real Good Time" by Faces? "Streams of Whiskey" by the Pogues? What the Hell?
>>>One could make the argument that anything is drinking music that is listened to while drinking, I hope by this point my concept is clear and I need not address that argument!

    An attempt to answer the (rhetorical?) question posed in group description: When comparing the Smokin Music & Drinkin Music groups here, the first thing you might notice is that the former has something like 4K members, while this one only 170. I believe a reason for this (hinted at above) is cannabis enhancement quality of visual & auditory stimuli. Alcohol may also do this to an extent, but alcohol is at base a CNS depressant, while THC is classified as a "mild hallucinogen". Sorry if Im just repeating what you all know already : )

    Tom Waits does it for me. Along with any of those considered to be "Delta Blues" artists. Bluesy and Jazzy stuff was made for cigarettes, beer, and bourbon. Smoke filled bars with the artist in a back corner adding to the atmosphere. Such a time lost, but not forgotten.

    I wouldn't know about most "linked", but blues DOES somehow just reak of alcohol, and with the right people it fits drinking the best.

    Bessie Smith! The girl drunk more than we can ever imagine;) I think that music and art generally was always connected with alc and it wasn't just a lying beerfullbelly on a bar, but a magic par excellence (like absinth or "mythological" bourbon). Alcohol will be an inspiration as long as music exists. Btw- what sort of music you think is linked with alcohol the most? I'm actually think it's blues- music for a good men in bad mood;)
