History

Sweeney co-wrote "Drink Myself Single" with Monty Holmes. She presented him with the idea while the two were drinking wine, and they finished the song in an hour and a half.

Critical reception

Giving it four stars out of five, Bobby Peacock of Roughstock called it "a delightful throwback" to "drinkin' and cheatin'", also comparing the song's sound favorably to Tanya Tucker. [2] An identical rating came from Billy Dukes of Taste of Country, calling the sound "nouveau classic country" and praising Sweeney's voice. [3]

"Drink Myself Single" debuted at number 60 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week dated October 1, 2011. It reached a peak of number 36 in December 2011, giving Sweeney her third Top 40 hit.
