Two points.

I dimly remember a song where the girl is trying to dissuade her lover from joining the army and going off to war. Title "The fighting's not for you" or something similar. Can't recall any of the words though.

And some more lines from the "drinking" version:
    Don't go telling me your tales
    Of your seven pints of Gales',
    They'd have heard you down in Wales
    My darling laddie-O.
