Rock & Pop: Got any good songs about alcohol that you want to share with me?

Happy belated birthday! Hope you had a good one.

MAIN QUESTION: Here are a few random ones that sprang to mind, listed in alphabetical order by song title. I’ve omitted “Too Drunk to [Enter f-bomb here]” by the Dead Kennedys, since the puritanical forces that be at Yahoo would likely take issue with that and delete my answer.

“Alcohol” by the Kinks

“Il est cinq heures, Paris s’éveille” by Jacques Dutronc (This one’s not specifically about drinking, so much as wrapping up a night of drinking with friends at roughly the same time that some people are beginning to start their days. Kind of doubles as an homage to the city of Paris [where I was born, incidentally].)

“The Piano Has Been Drinking” by Tom Waits

BQ: Mine was lame. I went to NYC with my friend Jeff, and this girl Sarah, both of whom were co-workers of mine at the time. They got a little tipsy and started making out. I wound up feeling like a third wheel.

BQ2: As someone in my mid-forties, I can assure you that the novelty wears off fairly fast – at least it did in my case. However, being able to enjoy a cold frosty one, a glass of wine or a shot of whisky when the mood strikes without it involving elaborate scheming and worrying about getting caught is a good thing.

BQ3: I borrowed Ozzy’s autobiography from my local library not too long ago, and he mentioned that he used to drink about three or four bottles of hard liquor – whisky, if memory serves – on a daily basis. Much like people including but not limited to Keith Richards or Iggy Pop, the fact that he’s still alive can’t really be explained by medical science.

BQ4: I don’t have anything remotely profound to say bout this, so I’ll simply offer my two cents’ worth regarding the artists you’ve cited. I like the VU, though I much prefer David Bowie as a general rule. I was lucky enough to see him live at Queens College back in 2002, actually. As for Radiohead, I definitely like “Street Spirit”, but I’m not overly familiar with the rest of their catalog, aside of course from their signature hit, “Creep”.

"One bourbon... one scotch..."

BQ: Went to a restaurant for a mudslide in my dress clothes right after church, and people mocked me out loud: "Look at that Chinese dude." Not sure what the deal was about them pointing out my ethnicity.

BQ2: It's not. Apart from that mudslide I had no appetite for, I didn't start to drink until I was 24 at the behest of roommates.

BQ3: Bon Scott and how he died. Tragic. Booze is overrated.

BQ4: This question is too deep for me, although I do have Radiohead's greatest hits CD. "Creep" reminds me of me in almost every word, which is strange. How can a popular rocker write about a nobody like me? I like that.

Happy Birthday Brandon! Hope you're out having a good time right now, and that you're able to remember it tomorrow.

BA: I became legal to drink at a strange time and place. I lived in Florida and turned 19 in March of 1985. That made me legal. A couple months later Florida raised the drinking age to 21 but grandfathered in those under 21 who were legal at the time the law went into effect, so I stayed legal even though the age was now 21. In August I moved to Alabama where the age was still 19 so I was still legal... until October when they raised the age to 21 with NO grandfather clause, so I suddenly was underage again, and for another year and a half. Insane.

When I turned 19 went to a strip club with a good friend who turned 19 that day too.

BA2: You're finally fully responsible for yourself, or that's the theory. It's really just an artificial social construct, but so are a lot of things.

BA3: Not really. I guess maybe when I saw Guns n Roses for the first time, in 1991. Axl was so drunk he was forgetting lyrics and stumbling around on stage. Worst concert I've ever been to.

BA4: You know me by now, I pay little attention to genre.

Happy birthday Brandon!

BQ1: I went out with a few friends to a bar at Rutgers -- I got a little too drunk.

BQ2: It's a big deal only because you're allowed to drink -- it's the moment you finally feel like a full adult under the law. Of course, almost no one tries booze for the first time at 21; plus, I've never seen in the sense in making the drinking age three years more than the age at which you can vote, smoke, and serve in the military.

BQ3: Ozzy Osbourne was once invited to a meeting with the head of CBS Europe in Germany. As with most events in his life up until the '90s, Ozzy was drunk for the occasion. He got up on the table, performed a striptease, kissed the exec on the lips, performed a goose-step march up and down the table, and then finally dipped his testicles in the exec's wine glass and urinated in it.

BQ4: The broad umbrella genre of "art rock" has always been a balance between melody and experimentation, and that experimentation has gone in many different directions. Some favored a more melodic approach based in classical, whereas others went wild with electronics and dissonance. VU was the result of two guys (Lou Reed and John Cale) starting from opposite ends of the music world (garage rock and classical/avant-garde) and working towards a common goal of creating the perfect synthesis of the two worlds.

1: Went to the same bar I'd been going to for several years.

2: It's the last birthday of any real significance. With no more milestones to hit, the rest just start rolling by.

Drinking beers, beers beers!
