The best poems and songs about alcohol and drinking.
A special guest post this time. Published poet John D. Robinson (When You Hear the Bell, There’s Nowhere to Hide and Cowboy Hats & Railways) sent us a wonderful poem called What I Wanted to Say. He describes his feelings towards the institution Alcoholics Anonymous. Emotions that every serious drinker probably shares. Or if you care…
Poetry and the consumption of alcohol usually go hand in hand. And the American poet Francis Saltus Saltus was a perfect example of that theory. The born New Yorker was a big fan of booze and even started his own drinking posse, that would gather at Billy Moulds’ bar in Manhattan’s University Place. Saltus and his…

Things weren’t different in 8th century China during the Tang Dynasty. In fact the eight most brilliant minds of this immense country were quite the wine enthousiasts. The alcohol consumption…

Time for a little homemade poetry. At least if we can call it that. It’s more like a funny verse really. At least we hope you’ll enjoy it. And if not, you should try to follow this scenario next time you hit the town. Cheers!
We believed it was time for some poetry again. The only problem was we had no more alcohol related poems laying around. So it was time to ick up a pen ourselves. Last night Micky wrote his first poem ever and now we’d like to share this with you. A bit of an exciting moment really,…
Everyone knows that most great poets were also very good drinkers. So it is high time to share some of their creations. From time to time we’ll bring you poems on drinking, odes to booze and adventures under intoxication. This time we bring you one with the catchy title Vodka. No wonder this creation by…
