Sad song about drinking made me cry

Over the year I have compiled a few good songs about drinking. Tonight I heard the Dan Folgeberg song Same old Lang Syne and while it's not about alcoholism it made me cry because it mentions drinking away lonelyness. But another one that will make you cry is Keith Urban Nobody drinks alone and How to save a life by the Fray...Can anyone think of others.

A couple lines from Lynyrd Skynyrd: "whiskey bottles, brand new car, oak tree you're in my way." (That Smell, a song all about drug/alcohol abuse), and " I drink enough whiskey to float a battleship around" (Gimme Back My Bullets). And if you like The Grateful Dead, there's the song "Wharf Rat," if you aren't familiar give it a listen some time.

Gin Blossoms--"Lost Horizons"--actually a number of the songs on New Miserable Experience are about alcoholism--written by an alky who didn't make it--sad testament to wasted talent

Pretty much any song by George Thorogood or Jimmy Buffett.

OK - can some one tell me why anyone would want to gather songs about drinking? I mean - what's the purpose? It sounds pretty maudlin to me.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
