Start the bender with all of Neil Young's Tonight's The Night

then

Lazy Cowgirls "Goddamn Bottle"

then go classic country:

Merle Haggard "Swinging Doors"

if this is breakup-related:

George Jones "If Drinking Don't Kill Me, Your Memory Will"
Gary Stewart "She's Acting Single, And I'm Drinking Doubles"

That George Jones tune has one of the best/most hilarious drunken country lyrics ever:

I put my head on the wheel
And the horn starts honkin'
The whole neighborhood knows
I'm home drunk again
