"Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down" is another with a decent Costello version, though of course anyone is welcome to prefer Merle's.

What about "Don't Go Back to Rockville," the verse that goes "at night I'll drink myself to sleep and pretend that I don't care that you're not here with me"?

I estimate at least 80% of mexican regional music is about drinking your sorrows.
