drinking songs
Pub sing-along tunes
Drinking songs are songs meant to be sung while drinking alcohol, typically in groups.
They tend toward simple melodies, easy choruses, and themes of camaraderie, toasting, or the pleasures of drink.
College fraternities, pubs, and beer halls keep the tradition alive: The whole table joined in on the drinking song.
Many folk songs double as drinking songs when the occasion calls for it.
