"The More I Drink" is a song written by David Lee Murphy, Chris DuBois, and Dave Turnbull and recorded by American country music singer Blake Shelton. It was released in July 2007 as the second single from Shelton’s album Pure BS.

Critical reception

Ken Tucker, of Billboard magazine in his review of the album, called the song "a honky-tonk, piano-laden ball of fun"^[1]

Music video

The music video was directed by Roman White and premiered in mid-2007. It begins with many heavily intoxicated bar patrons getting arrested (including Blake) and getting into a fight. Blake starts the song in a police booking room, before the scene cuts to the bar patrons getting rowdy and drunk at a local bar (which prequels to the video's beginning). After many of the patrons flirt with some scantily-clad women trying to impress themselves, a fight breaks out, and many of the patrons are seen getting injured. Blake is seen performing the song both with his band to an audience, and with the patrons as they prepare for their mugshots. It was filmed in Watertown, Tennessee.

This song debuted at number 57 on the Hot Country Songs chart dated July 7, 2007. It spent 27 weeks on that chart, and peaked at number 19 on the chart dated December 15, 2007.
