Drink Yourself Silly (Pipe Dreams)

As I mentioned on Monday, last weekend was pretty rough. There are parts I don't remember, and parts I wish I didn't remember. All in all, it was quite embarrassing, but I learned the following...

I basically have four different personalities that accompany increasing levels of alcohol: Funny Sonny, Douche Sonny, Vomit Sonny, and Sad Sonny. What about Horny Sonny? Well, he is a permanent fixture, with or without drinks, so let's assume him to be a constant variable equal to just plain Sonny. Along with Total Nerd Alert Sonny.

Anyway, I mention this because the "songs about drinking" playlist below is a reflection of all four personalities. Some tracks are fun, some are obnoxious, others are sad, and one promotes puking. I've been using Finetune.com a lot lately, so I stuck to their "rule" of picking 45 songs for a playlist. I know I'm missing a lot of "major" drinking songs, but the ones below somehow made sense in my mind in terms of telling a story. A story? Yes, I take mix CDs way too seriously.

So click on "Continue Reading" below, check out the drinking mix, and pour yourself a glass. Of V8. Because drinking is bad for you. Leave a comment, and let me know what you think!

(Just want to reiterate, if you like a song below, please support the band and purchase a track or two or twelve. Thanks!)
