10 Greatest Modern Rock Songs About Getting Drunk

"Just like James, I'll be drinking Irish tonight
And the memory of his last work week will be gone forever"

Based on those old-time Guinness posters that swore the stout gave "Gives You Strength" and "Is Good For You," this Against Me! track is sure to improve your health just as much as the beverage being praised in this chugging punk rock track.

Musically, "Pints Of Guinness Make You Strong" is the punk rock version of the Old West, riding on a Johnny Cash-style guitar lick and a boatload of sorrow. Told as a memorial to lead singer's grandparents, the folksy timbre makes it easy to raise a glass in tribute, because it sounds as if he's singing about your own grandparents.

Against Me! perfectly captures the mood of reflection, but one that's more celebratory and appreciative than sad. Rollicking good times full of clinking glasses and arm-in-arm chanting lie ahead if you put this one on during a drinking session.
