Blake Shelton Advises Drinking and Songwriting Don't Mix

From Brad Paisley’s “Alcohol” to Kenny Chesney’s “Keg In The Closet,” much of Country Music has found influence at the bottom of a bottle.Blake Shelton and girlfriend Miranda Lambert started writing the last song on Shelton's latest album, Startin’ Fires, after a few drinks to set the creativity loose."I wrote a song one time called ‘You Picked Your Nose With the Finger I’m Wrapped Around,’ and I thought it was brilliant, ‘cause I had been drinking. And the next day I realized it wouldn’t be a hit," Shelton told GAC Nights: Live From Nashville. Though creativity is far from what they got, Shelton acknowledged that writing a song while under the influence didn’t exactly make for the best outcome.
