    Country Songs About Alcohol & Heartbreak

    Cowboy DrinkingValentine's Day is 10 short days away, and lovebirds around the world will have a whole day (or at least an evening) filled with chocolate, Champagne and romance. But Valentine's Day is nothing to look forward to for the broken-hearted. If you don't have someone to love, Valentine's Day has a way of constantly reminding you of that fact.

    But remember, you're not alone, and what better way to enjoy Valentine's Day then by drowning your sorrow? Alcohol and broken hearts go way back -- they're friends that will never be parted, and no music genre sings the praises of alcohol and heartbreak better than country music.

    So if you find yourself sad and lonely this year, get down to your local watering hole, order your favorite drink and enjoy this playlist of great country songs that mix sadness and booze. It may bring a tear to your eye even if you decide not to drink.

    What's your favorite country song that mixes alcohol and heartbreak?

      Many things wrong with this list. First off Hank Sr already wrote all the great one in this category, The most glaring one however the Don't Come Home a- Drinkin' Was mad famous by Tammy Wynette. I don't think Loretta ever recorded it. Honky Tonk Man was a cover song made famous by Johnny Horton. Merle had many too. My favorite was Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down. I think, but could be wrong, that Delbert McClinton wrote Two More Bottles of Wine. Great tune though.
