History Main / OdeToIntoxication

* Way too many FolkMetal songs to cover here, with (as mentioned above) Music/{{Korpiklaani}} being a major offender. They have at least one song about drinking on each album and pretty much all with only Korven Kuningas, their fifth studio album, having no song that has to do with drinking. Also, Manala only contains a song that's only partially about drinking, since it's about witchcraft and making someone eat, as the title says, "Soil of the corpse" which seems to be slipped into their drink. And the lyrics only mention drinking in passing, with more focus being on the witchcraft.
** Though the sixth album Karkelo (older Finnish for a celebration or a party) by having a record number of four songs about drinking (though the last one, Kohmelo meaning hangover in slang, is an instrumental song. But by the virtue of its name, it does kind of show the negative side of drinking, even if not musically.
** Then there's ''Music/Moonsorrow'' with Pakanajuhla.
** Like was said above, there are just too many to list. And some don't even necessarily have a name that would indicate them being an ode to intoxication.

* The title track from Music/{{Foreigner}}'s second album, ''Double Vision'', sees the singer asking someone to "fill [his] eyes with that double vision", the rest of the lyrics making it clear that the singer has serious substance abuse problems but doesn't care.

See also ButLiquorIsQuicker, DrugsAreGood, LoveIsADrug, WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs and AddictionSong (for when the song is more about addiction in general).

* ThrashMetal band Tankard practically ''runs'' on this, with about 99% percent of their discography about the greatness of beer, and the other 1% about how being sober sucks.

* The traditional Colombian song "El Sanjuanero" (St. John's Festivities Song) by Anselmo Durán Plazas, as written in the lyrics by Sofía Gaitan De Reyes, is about getting plastered with aguardiente and dancing joropo, and how the dancing deals with the prospective hangover.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x4weajfqm0 Green and Purple]] by Kritikal, a parody of Wiz Khalifa's ''Black and Yellow'', is entirely about marijuana (and [[WeirdAlEffect is more well-known than the song its parodying]]).

* "Purple Pills" by D12 is much sillier than Music/{{Eminem}}'s usual lyrics, which are forgotten during the chorus.

* "Got to Get You Into My Life" by Music/TheBeatles from ''Music/{{Revolver}}'' is a totally sincere (and very subtle) song about Paul [=McCartney=]'s love of marijuana.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLtwaD7t3lA "Drink or Die"]] by [[Music/HidetoMatsumoto hide]]. Not sarcastic... sadly so if you look at what later happened. (change out the "or" for "and" and you have why he experienced AuthorExistenceFailure.)

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEZAV17_WuQ Ten Rounds with Jose Cuervo]]" -- Tracy Byrd

* Brazil has quite a few songs about [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cacha%C3%A7a cachaça]], such as "Marvada Pinga" ("evil cachaça"), "Pinga Ni Mim" ("drops on me" -- DoubleEntendre meaning both raindrops and beverage drops) and Music/PatoFu's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH6253M8sMs "Pinga"]].

* Music/ThePrettyReckless: "My Medicine" is one example.

* Music/BlackSabbath's "Sweet Leaf" (weed), "Snowblind" (cocaine), and others. Not all their drug songs are pro-drug, however; "Hand of Doom" is an anti-heroin song.

* "My Medicine," by Music/ThePrettyReckless. The singer is strung out on something, possibly given the name a prescription drug. It's ambiguous but it doesn't seem that the singer considers it a positive experience.

* Music/{{Gorillaz}} "White Light"

I love to have a beer with Ducn,\\
