Now i need five songs that deal with drinking (i.e. good drinking songs)
I know this one has already been answered, but I could list about 50 of these after growing up in the Maritimes and spending my weekend evenings listening to bands performing at Irish pubs. :P

One band used to say that there are three major themes to Irish music, often used in conjunction with each other: dead people, sinking ships, and drinking.

We're drinkin' and we're heavin' and we're dancin' and we're heavin' and we're drinkin' and we're dancin' in St. John's and heavin' in Maramachi and we're drinkin' and we're heavin' Mabou Mabou and we're dancin' and we're drinkin' down in Ingonish!

That's pretty much every celtic song:

Drinking
Boats/Heaving
Dancing
with inserting random small town place names from the Maritimes, or St. John's.
