"You mean, as opposed to a country that has a drinking song as its national anthem?"

the Star Spangled Banner was originally a poem that was put to the music of a popular drinking song (To Anacreon in Heaven). However, the Star Spangled Banner itself was never a drinking song. Besides, I like drinking songs... :-)
