Country Drinkin' Songs (The Sad Ones)

Country music has more than its share of drinking songs. Odds are you could quickly name a dozen off the top of your head. But there's a big difference between elbow-bending anthems about the joys of being a boozehound and cry-in-your-bourbon laments about drowning your depression in 125 proof, and these tunes by the likes of George Jones, Willie Nelson, and Merle Haggard hone in on the latter.
