Alanis Morissette - Reasons I Drink Lyrics
These are the reasons I drink
The reasons I tell everybody I'm fine even though I am not
These are the reasons I overdo it
I have been working since I can remember, since I was single digits
Now, even though I've been busted
And nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more hit
It feels so helpful in my need for respite
And here are the reasons I eat
And so that's it, I am buying a Lamborghini
To make up for these habits, to survive this sick industry
Nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more sip
It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite
And these are the reasons I don't even think I would quit
And these are the reasons I can't even see straight
And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects
And I am left wondering how I would I function without it
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more rip
I go from one lily pad to another to stay lit

Я как старый фанат рад возвращению любимой Alanis
Whelp, it's official. Alanis has been emotionally calling me out since I was 11.
WOW wonderful song, I love listening to Alanis's voice, the lyrics, the whole pack! Thank you!
P.S.: Alanis, PLEASE, come to Europe!!!
great voice - great woman - i don't know how long i love you
Good to see your back!!!!!!!
Forever And Ever Alanis ♡
2019 brought back Madonna, James Blunt and now i'm fuckin waitin for 2020 for Alanis <3
welcome back
Getting the same goosebumps as the first time I heard "You Oughta Know" 25 years ago, Alanis is and always will be a legend!
Wow, I wish this would be the song for Bojack Horseman in its finale. The song perfectly captures a person in depression.
Yay! Looking forward to adding this to my collection.
Welcome back! We've missed you!
perfect, always!!!!
Aways hoping for an other shocking album like Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie.
I can’t understand how an artist can create such a strange, strong, hard work without making any other song that can simply be compared to a single piece of that work.
I love it! Congratulations and wellcome back!😍
Love you
Omg her lower vocal pitch is beautiful!
Her voice got deeper - and it takes a bit of getting used to as we didn’t get to hear it develop in the past 8 years. Still quintessentially Alanis in twang and I’m ready for more. Welcome back!
2019 Album: "Reasons I Drink." ~Wow she sounds like she's doing great!
2021 Album: "I do Heroin now it's not a big deal. You didn't care before, why care now?" ~ Man, she's on a roll.
2025 Album: "Just drank a bottle of pills and I have a gun to my head. I'll do it. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?!?!" ~Didn't realize she could make such a comeback!
I love you so much Alanis and have purchased all albums directly . No bootlegs. all I ever wanted to do is go to your concert and be up close and see you sing live. I every single song line by line verse by verse. I cannot wait to see you I am going to make sure I see you live next year
Lady Gaga - Look What I Found intro.
Love it anyway <3

I have 25 or more year of listening to your wonderful voice and lyrics under my belt. my daughter 9 years back she was with her freinds and she's said why do I know this words to your songs. they said you have a cool mom. love 💘 you. can't wait till May.

Eres un icono de la década de los gloriosos 90's cuando la música aun era calidad pura.✌
❤️🎼

I relate to this song a lot.
I LOVE YOU, ALANIS!!! I love you since I was a kid. Thank you for all the beautiful music. Your music has helped so many people in so many ways, it's a release...a relief. I'm glad you are back..
:):
We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did
#AlanisForgiven1995

I have been waiting for YEARS for new Alanis Morissette music!! I'm so happy that my favorite musician ever has a new album coming out soon!

ALANIS MORRISETTE - Reasons I Drink
[Verse 1]
These are the reasons I drink
The reasons I tell everybody I'm fine even though I am not
These are the reasons I overdo it
I have been working since I can remember, since I was single digits
Now, even though I've been busted
I don't know where to draw the line
'cause that groove has gotten so deep
[Pre-Chorus]
And nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do
[Chorus]
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more hit
It feels so helpful in my need for respite
[Verse 2]
And here are the reasons I eat
Reasons I feel everything so deeply when I'm not medicated
And so that's it, I am buying a Lamborghini
To make up for these habits, to survive this sick industry
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do
[Chorus]
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more sip
It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite
[Bridge]
And these are the reasons I don't even think I would quit
And these are the reasons I can't even see straight
And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects
And I am left wondering how I would I function without it
[Chorus]
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more rip
I go from one mini pad to another to stay lit
[
Hay razones por las que bebo
Las razones por las que les digo a todos que estoy bien a pesar de que no
Estas son las razones por las que lo hago constantemente
He trabajado desde que tengo memoria, desde antes de llegar a los 10
Ahora, a pesar de que he pasado por malos momentos
No sé donde dibujar la línea
Puesto que aquel surco se ha vuelto tan profundo
[Pre-Chorus]
Y nada puede darle un respiro como ellos lo hacen
Nadie puede darle un descanso a este soldado como ellos lo hacen
[Chorus]
Aquí estamos
Siento tal éxtasis y mi comodidad es tan fuerte
Un trago más
Me resulta útil en vista de necesidad de un respiro
[Verse 2]
Y estas son las razones por las que como
Razones por lo que siento todo tan profundamente, cuando no estoy medicada
Así que basta, me compraré un Lamborghini
Para contrarrestar estos hábitos, para sobrevivir a esta indolente industria
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Y estas son las razones por las que no creo que me retire
Y estas son las razones por las que no puedo ver bien
Y estos son a los que sé que esto les afecta profundamente
Y me quedo preguntándome que sería de mí sin esto
[Chorus]
Aquí estamos
Siento tal éxtasis y mi comodidad es tan fuerte
Un soplo más
Voy de fiesta en fiesta para mantener el entusiasmo
Glad you're back Alanis. 👍👌
I LOVED THIS SONG!! I'm looking forward to this album, hopefully this tour will pass through Brazil I FUCKING LOVE YOU <3
I LOVE YOU
Alanis to back???? maravilhoso!!!!
She's ALANIS. : )
YESSSS FUCK YEAH
I’m sorry but she needs to bring back Glen Ballard. And a vocal coach. None of this is working.
Diva! 🇧🇷😍
Love my fellow Gemini 🙏
alanis morissette was one of my mothers fav singers i asked her one time why she liked her songs so much she sed that the things she sings about was in her life alot

That feeling when you fall in love with a song from the 1st note.

Its about ime....welcome back Alanis!
Enfin trop bien 👍👍👍👍👍👍💟💞💝
Love that Alanis is back. Sad that respite is mispronounced so badly. Oh well, another reason to drink 👍
Canadian pronunciation 😎
the old alanis is back :)
Appropriate song topic for her fans that are now in their 40’s. Fantastic as always......her voice is still the best....
TBF Im 28 and a big Alanis fan and feel this song too much, she can capture the human condition like no other <3
Welcome back, girlfriend! We've missed YOU!
Oh gawd, sounds like one hand in my pocket
The Goddess of Alternative Rock
Она просто классная)
Awesome sauce! Glad you're back!
I am a recovering Alcoholic and this song is so relatable and it truly comforts me to know that someone who I respect and admire so highly is so humble and honest ❤ I have been listening to this since it came out and it really helps me feel less isolated.
I have Borderline Personality Disorder and the line about feeling everything so deeply when not medicated really helped me feel understood as I feel intensely every day (not suggesting it means BPD nor implying Alanis has BPD) and I turned to alcohol because of it, I am on medication and have so far been doing good not drinking.
This song, "Would not come" and "Numb" by Alanis are basically my life anthems regarding my struggles.
This needs to go mainstream! Hello!! Is a dream come true to enjoy her music once more!
Bentornata👍🤗🔝
💓💓💓💓💓
Her music is poetry.
Once again you have hit a nerve with your beautiful lyrics!
Love your whole being Alanis
You know how to touch our souls xxxx
I've been waiting for sooo long <3 welcome back!
👏👏👏👏
go vide///s
Yay, the fierce Alanis is back!!
When Will you came to Brazil?
I like your music since a was a teenager
She is in Halsey''s album isn't she?
I'm really uncomfortable with this comment hahaha. Alanis is an icon.
Love you 🤷♂️ since 1999
I was born in 1990
Your voice is in my mind
Te quiero y admiro!
Besos desde Buenos Aires Argentina
No one loves you, your mind, music and soul more than me..... See you from the audience in Charlotte, NC 💕 Your music saves!!
Welcome back alanis Congrats on ur new little ad edition to ur family all all the best to you
Hmmmm thought provoking.
Deepest Song of the Year
Wow, how much her voice has changed since Jagged Little Pill & Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. Two of my personal favorites. Alanis released Jagged Little Pill my 10-11 grade high school. I remrmber having the most awesome computer teacher, perfect attendance, A in the class, all work complete meant on Friday we could be free. I would listed to JLP front to back while taking a nap. Seems like not too long ago. My, where does the time go?
AMAZING‼‼‼‼‼
Love her
I stan my goddess queen of life forever "since i was single digits" 💖💓💗💓💖💗
🙂🙂🙂
Amazing song and video! Thank you, Alanis!
OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG! I was soooo glad to see new music from Alanis and even more glad that it's still her but totally current <3
HERE WE ARE.💚💋💜
It reminds on Look what i found by Lady Gaga
Unreal song. Wow. If this doesn't win a Grammy I don't know what good music is.
I’m 23, and I’m beyond grateful that I discovered Alanis. Her music transcends through any generation and manages to lift up your spirits. Thank you Alanis.
