Jockey Full of Bourbon, The Piano Has Been Drinking & many others by Tom Waits.

Btw Alabama Song was written by Kurt Weill & Berthold Brecht. The version by The Doors is one of many.

There are a huge number of Irish drinking songs; for example the old classic "Seven Drunken Nights", most memorably done by the Dubliners. The band Gaelic Storm has done a number of modern-day Irish drinking songs as well.

"Old Red Eye is Back" by the Beautiful South is an insightful song about a chronic alcoholic.

A classic R&B song about the troubles of the bottle.

"Gil Scott Heron- The Bottle"

Totally forgot about "The Piano has been Drinking!"

Albert Collins - "I Ain't Drunk"

I love that line - "I ain't drunk, I'm just drinkin'"

 

I also love me some Hank Thompson - "Six Pack To Go"

Lot of Irish ones of course:

Bondo - I'm Drunk
Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies

And one of my favorite musicians, Jerry Jeff Walker:
Backslider's Wine
Sangria Wine
It's A Good Night For Drinking

I don't think this song is specifically about drinking, but rather a general feeling of detachment, but it starts out talking about drinking too much and blacking out.

2 Drunk 2 F**k  by Hi-C.  A favorite when I was in high school. Nothing like gangsta rap to talk about dumb drunks.

Del Amitri - I'm Just A Drunk In A Band.

'Pat is the guy with the record shop, & John sells fruit but wants to be a cop, & Paul deals speed in a Celtic top, but I'm just a drunk in a band."

"Gin & Juice," Snoop Dogg


Though I don't really consider myself of "jam bands", Phish has done a pretty good cover of "Gin & Juice" on many of their recordings.

 

Also, not sure if it was mentioned yet, but - George Thorogood - "I Drink Alone" is another one.
