10 Greatest Modern Rock Songs About Getting Drunk

10. Deer Tick - "Let's All Go To The Bar"

"I don't care if you're already drunk
(Let's all go to the bar)
This is one night school that I won't flunk
(Let's all go to the bar)
I'm not gonna stand for being down on my luck
(Let's all go to the bar)"

Tailor-made for that burst of momentum you feel after you've had a couple of beers at home and get the itch to go share your boozy enthusiasm with a bigger crowd. You call up and text your friends with a simple plea: let's all go to the bar!

This brisk, piano-driven rocker recalls the Ramones and Jerry Lee Lewis with equal aplomb, which is never a bad thing.

There's so much youthful exuberance on display here that it'd be easy for a thirty-something nightcrawler to forget they're not in high school anymore and should probably lay off the tequila unless they want to spend the entirety of tomorrow with the curtains drawn and an icepack on their head.

Sometimes the greatest songs about getting wasted are the simplest ones, and Deer Tick knows the best way to boost a simple rock and roll structure is with a whole lotta energy.
