Galmourising alcohol abuse? Haven't come across many of them. Most drinking songs seem not to regard drinking alcohol as a problem. They don't, therefore, see it as "abuse". Much like the majority of drinkers who see a drink as part of having a sociable good time. (Use rather than abuse.) There are quite a few temperance songs if you want to look them out. It's just that they're not sung as much these days - perhaps as a reflection of most folkies' choice of tipple and the fact that nearly all folk clubs are in pubs. Some that are quite frequently heard in these parts are: "Farewell to the Whisky", "Come Whoam to thi Childer an' Me" and "Song of a Drinking Man's Wife".
