A drinking song is a song sung while drinking, that is, consuming alcohol. Some drinking songs are about drink, but many are not. Groups which still have a drinking song tradition include rugby players, hash house harriers, air force fighter pilots and fraternities. Most of drinking songs are folksongs and show variation from person to person and region to region in both the words and in the tunes used for the song.

This website is dedicated to traditional drinking songs (many bawdy), toasts, recitations and other bar-room folklore. Some people think of these songs as rugby, Hash House Harrier, military, fraternity or sorority songs but they are the shared drinking songs of people who pride themselves on consuming large amounts of alcohol and knowing how to throw a great party.
