In honor of the drinking issue, new CL Contributor Timothy Boyson and I have brainstormed a booze-themed playlist — in sum, a bunch of songs about getting schnockered up, some of them rather well known, others not so much, and they touch on a range of genres — outlaw country, alt rock, hip hop, reggae rock, New Wave, folk, indie and mainstream pop, soul, electronica and even some vintage lounge sounds. For your convenience, I've included both a Spotify-produced playlist, and for those who aren't members, a straightforward list of the songs that are included on it. Cheers!
