Klingon drinking songs were songs that Klingons sang about drinking bloodwine, having glorious battles, the Empire, and other things. Essentially, with the exception of a few, all Klingon songs could actually be considered Klingon drinking songs.
Huraga and Mogh used to sing drinking songs when Worf was young. In 2372, Huraga sang a drinking song with Worf himself aboard Deep Space 9. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior")
On the starship USS Voyager, The Doctor wanted to get Seven of Nine to learn a Klingon drinking song. Her response was "I fail to see the merit of learning a Klingon drinking song," to which The Doctor replied "It's not about drinking, Seven, it's about saluting the noble deeds of our ancestors. And honoring those who fell in battle. Think qapla'! Think long live the Empire!" (VOY: "Barge of the Dead")
The Doctor once mentioned that B'Elanna Torres's appreciation of music was limited to a smattering of Klingon drinking songs. (VOY: "Virtuoso")
Neelix quickly took to admiring Klingon culture after having an opportunity to view it firsthand in 2377, after Voyager had transported aboard some two hundred Klingons. After spending a day in the mess hall feeding them, he picked up on several Klingon drinking songs which he later offered to teach his new bunkmate, Tuvok. (VOY: "Prophecy")
