A drinking song list without any Housemartins/The Beautiful South? They could fill a whole album with their boozy tunes, in fact I’m surprised they haven’t done exactly that. “Look What I Found In My Beer”, “Old Red Eyes is Back”, “Liar’s Bar”, “Just Checkin’”, etc.
LOTS of good ones mentioned in the comments so far. I’ll post one that is probably much less known but my personal favorite. “Free Beer Song” by Da Yoopers.
Sirey Petes (from a mispronunciation of Sierra Prieta mountains outside of Prescott, Arizona–AKA Sirey Peaks) tells the story of two true cowboys who grew tired of branding yearlings and decided to go on a drinking binge in Prescott’s Whiskey Row. The author was a Dartmouth educated cowboy, Gail I. Gardner.
Spoiler:
The last line ends:
“Well, if you ever go up into the Sirey Petes and you hear one helluva of a wail, you’ll know it’s the Devil a’hollerin about the knots tied in his tail.”
Very good ones, but how could you forget

I like beer - Tom T Hall
Originally by Louis Jordan, but this was the first version I heard and I still prefer it:
Alabama Song - Bertolt Brecht & Kurt Weill
(too many good versions to name)
Though on the obscure side, I think that Louis Logic created the ultimate hip hop drinking song:
For real…listen up!
and, could have played ole blue eye’s version, I need a change…
Merle Haggard; I think I’ll just stay here and drink
No Reason to Quit
one of my favorite drinking songs turns out to be a song that parodies the ills of drinking
Jerry Lee Lewis
was fun to play along with.
His is my best pick.
If I wasn’t against all caps, I would write the following sentence: How can you forget this gem!"
