Probably Needs A Better Title. Rolling Updates.

A lyrics trope: the vocalist sings about how great it is to get drunk, or high - usually with biting sarcasm. (However, not all of them have to be sarcastic...)

When the tongue-in-cheek version is used well, it can double as a less Anvilicious way of saying Drugs Are Bad.

Examples

• Skold vs. KMFDM's track, "Alkohol". The title hints at the subject matter.

• Angelspit's "Elixir" is an interesting case. The general theme is that 'there's a drug for everything nowadays' but it also covers drug addiction - including the chorus, suggested as being from the 'point of view' of the addiction itself. There are a few interesting analyses on Songmeanings.net.
• "High Times" by Jamiroquai.

• Barenaked Ladies' "Alcohol".
• The infamous "Beer" song set to the 1812 Overture/Overture to Carmen..

• "Heroin" by the Velvet Underground.
• "Because I Got High" by Afroman.
• "Beer!" by Psychostick
• "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" - Joe Nichols
• "Alcohol" - Brad Paisley
• "Ten Rounds with Jose Cuervo" - Tracy Byrd
• George Thoroughgood and the Destroyers:
  • "I Drink Alone"
  • "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" (a cover)
  • Another George Thoroughgood example is "If You Don't Start Drinkin' (I'm Gonna Leave)".
• Smoke Buddah- Redman
• We Be Burning- Sean Paul
• Gin and Juice- Snoop Dogg
• The Polish heroicomical poem Monachomachia (literally "war of monks". It describes, in language better suited for describing epic ancient battles, a theological dispute degenerating into a giant brawl) contains a piece praising the "love of the glass" after a cup of wine is used to end the brawl by starting a binge. (as you can guess, the author, himself a priest, didn't think much of the morality in the monasteries of his time)
• Korpiklaani has a bunch of these. "Vodka" is probably the most over-the-top.
  Drinking is good for you!
  Not anymore lonesome.
  Drinking is good for you!
  Oh you will feel awesome!
• The Irish folk song, "Whiskey in the Jar".
• Alanis Morissette's "On the Tequila".
• Styx's "Light Up" and Boston's "Smokin'" aren't about tobacco, If You Know What I Mean.
• Dr. Hook has "I Got Stoned And I Missed It", although that might be more of a Drugs Are Bad example.
• Eric Clapton's "Cocaine".
• Dylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35".
• The Finnish Olvirä by Raptori uses the words of a bizarre poem by an 19th century Finnish author. Hearing "Hail, brown malted brew!" set in rap is one of the stranger moments in music.
