Ha! Some great classics here, Lance - and there are many, many more ....
Alcoholic Blues, recorded in 1919 by Billy Murray
Gimmie a Pigfoot and a Bottle of Beer, Me and My Gin, famously by The Empress of the Blues Bessie Smith
And how about Drinking Again, by the sweet voiced Dinah Washington. Before the pills and alcohol got to her, far too young!
