Pre-parties are a college necessity. They help get that buzz goin’ (1) so you don’t have to spend as much money, and (2) so you bond with your fellow partiers and create the mood for a fun night out on the town.

And nothing says, “Tonight is gonna be off the CHAIN!” better than the perfect drinking playlist. Although, I don’t think you really want someone who still uses the phrase, “off the chain” at your Pre-Party. Let me rephrase. Nothing says, “Wow, you guys; I feel so motivated to have another drink, and I really envision a wonderful evening ahead of us!” better than the perfect drinking playlist. Much better.

Sillypipedreams has come up with 45 awesome songs centered entirely around the act of drinking. From older stuff, like, “Alcohol” by The Kinks, to new stuff, like “Rehab” by Amy Winehouse, this playlist has all the makings of a fun, music-filled Pre-Party.

If you aren’t convinced, “Tubthumping” by Chumba Wumba makes an appearance. If that doesn’t keep you throwing back the beer, I don’t know what will.
