    Or, more famously by Smith, "Between the Bars" (though that may be more about addiction to drink than merely drinking):

    "Drink up, baby."
    "The potential you'll be that you'll never see."
    "Between the bars" as both pub-hopping and the prison of alcoholism.
    The dual meaning of "I'll keep them still": "not moving, static, non-threatening," versus "nevertheless."

    Good god Smith was a genius lyricist.

    My favorite, a lighter-on-the-surface ditty by Tom Waits: "The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me)." Starts at about 1:00, but the Fernwood Tonight interview is added flavor.
