Kishore Kumar - Zindagi Ka Safar

Tone Loc - Funky Cold Medina



Speaks for itself...

Chico Science & Nação Zumbi - A Praeira



The track itself only starts after 46 seconds of the video unfortunately. But it's worth the wait. The only bit I understand is "Uma cerveja antes do almoço é muito bom". which is alcoholic enough for this list.

Aziz Nazan - Jhoom Barabar Jhoom Sharabi



This song reminds me of my father.

I wish I could find an original version of Madhushala by Harivansh Rai Bachchan but there doesn't seem to be one on YouTube. All I could find is Amitabh performing it very badly here, or some random guy sitting around with snacks and a coke performing it quite well here.

Tom Waits - Warm Beer, Cold Women



So many fine drunken songs from this guy but I'm in the mood for this.

Billie Holliday - One for my Baby and one for the Road



"We're drinking my friend, to the end of a brief episode"

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Maikhana



Glorious tack! And can we start a thread on alcohol with this please?
