A drinking song is a song that is sung before or during alcohol consumption. Most drinking songs are folk songs or commercium songs, and may be varied from person to person and region to region, in both the lyrics and in the music. In Germany, drinking songs are called Trinklieder. In Sweden, where they are called dryckesvisor or snapsvisor, there are drinking songs associated with Christmas, Midsummer, and other celebrations. An example of such a song is "Helan går". In Spain, "Asturias, patria querida" (the anthem of Asturias) is usually depicted as a drinking song. In France, historical types of drinking songs are chanson pour boire and air à boire.
