Day Drunk

"Day Drunk" is a song recorded by Australian country music singer Morgan Evans, released on 8 June 2018 as the third single from his fourth EP Morgan Evans EP and second studio album Things That We Drink To. Evans told Taste of Country "I've never been the 'drinking song' guy, but this song came from a real place and is really more about spending a day with your person than it is about just going getting drunk. There's a reason why I love it so much and feel like I can sing it." "Day Drunk" peaked at number 27 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The song was written by Evans, along with Lindy Robbins and Chris DeStefano, the latter of whom produced it.

At the 2019 Country Music Awards of Australia, the song won Single of the Year.
