What music goes best with what alcohol>
For my part, Tom Waits and Absinthe. Evidence? Tom Waits - Rain Dogs - YouTube
Kiss and Cold Gin
Margaritas and Jimmy Buffett.
Scotch, bourbon, and beer for George Thorogood
Done it. Awful.
George prefers to drink alone, with nobody else.
Not particular artists… but songs. Like “Alabama Song” by The Doors, or “Have a Drink on Me” by AC/DC. Speaking of AC/DC and drinking, I once tried a drinking game played by taking a shot every time the word “thunder” is said in the song “Thunderstruck”. I highly recommend substituting a sip of beer for a shot if you feel tempted to try this… it didn’t work out well for me with shots.
Ok, the first two aren’t really bands, but:
Leon Redbone - Whiskey, any spelling or variety. I’ll be napping by the end of the second side, though. If my sweetie is around, she doesn’t drink, and is considerate enough to lift the needle. Nice mixed drinks such as martinis and juleps would work well too, if you’re not into having it on the rocks or neat. The vibe might even mix nice with something as sweet as whiskey and coke. But I don’t know, you’ll have to try that yourself, as I don’t really do mixed drinks. Beer might work, but I think it should probably be a light, mellow brew (no, not Budweiser, maybe a Hefe - the man drips class ,even if he takes an endorsement deal that lacks it).
Tom Waits - Whatever it is, make it as straight as possible. Ok, maybe some tonic water, but that’s it. If all you have is flavored beer, it will work. All over the world. It’s the same, it’s the same.
ZZ Top - Beer and tequila. Beer for the slow songs, and tequila for the fast ones. Oddly, this does mean that you would drink tequila during “Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers”. Such is the mystery of the Two Beards and the Beard with no beard.
Most other bands don’t seem to bring a particular booze to mind, but might bring another intoxicant altogether into the discussion.
And I never, ever recommend any drinking game. They are designed by people who want to cause you pain tomorrow. 
Dr Feelgood: Milk and Alcohol.
Mark Cohen, Thunderbird.
Cheap Trick works nicely with a Dr. Pepper and Chocolate ice cream float.
Actually, so does almost any music.
www.drinkify.org Problem solved!
Kesha - Jack Daniel’s
Eh, I put in a bunch of straight edge-ish bands in and it recommended liquor. Although “the Minor Threat” (bourbon+tomato juice+Monster) sounds disgusting enough to put one off alcohol forever!
Love Leon Redbone … and bourbon.
I was being loose with “bands”. See Tom Waits in the OP.
Pete Townshend: Remy Martin VSOP
The Eagles:Tequila Sunrise
But if you don’t start drinking, he’s going to leave you.
The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band - Two Bottles of Wine.
By the way, these fine folks are in the UK and Ireland at the moment, and playing Glastonbury.
Well, you could probably have a dandy evening in my living room. 
:smack: Really, I did read the thread before posting. I’m just an idiot.
Definitely the Pogues.
And the Dubliners.
Both great for a drunken sing-along.
Also Hayseed Dixie.
