In a somewhat usual story, VH1 recently spoke with acclaimed rock act The Hold Steady and had the band assemble a "party mix" of the best drinking anthems.

Among the selections are classics from The Replacements, ("Here Comes A Regular" and "Beer for Breakfast,") The Pogues, ("Sally MacLennane") and newer songs from Dillinger Four and Jawbreaker. Regarding Dillinger Four's, "Doublewhiskeycokenoice":

One, because, again, that's my drink. When [Minneapolis'] Triple Rock [Social Club] opened Patty [Costello, D4 bassist] and I started drinking that. No Coke in my drinks in the summer, when I do greyhounds and after Memorial Day I go back to whiskey and after the first snowfall it's double whiskey Coke, no ice.

and Jawbreaker's "Kiss the Bottle" :

They wrote almost all great drinking songs, but that one is really good because it also discusses the highs and lows associated with partying. I think that's an important thing to capture in any song about drinking or drugs. [Sample lyric, "I kissed the bottle/ I should've been kissing you/ You wake up to an empty night/ with tears for two."]
