"Think as You Drunk" is a song by American country music singer Riley Green. It was released on June 1, 2026, as the lead single from his fourth studio album, That's Just Me, via Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment. Green co-wrote the song with Jessi Alexander, Erik Dylan, and Wyatt McCubbin, and it was produced by Dann Huff. The song features a sample of Toby Keith's "As Good as I Once Was", and as such, Keith and Scotty Emerick are credited as additional co-writers.
Background Green first teased "Think as You Drunk" on May 25, 2026, after posting about the song on social media alongside the song's May 28, 2026, release date. On May 28, he also announced his fourth studio album, That's Just Me.
Green co-wrote the song with Jessi Alexander, Erik Dylan, and Wyatt McCubbin in 20 minutes. The song is a nod to Toby Keith, who is featured on the track via a sample of "As Good as I Once Was" at the end of the song. Green recorded the song with producer Dann Huff at Sound Stage in Nashville on October 28, 2025.
A portion of the proceeds from the song will be donated to the Toby Keith Foundation, which goes towards pediatric cancer patients.
Country music singer Tyler Filmore's wife criticized the track for copying Filmore's song, "Drunk I Am", and claimed that Green blocked her on social media after she called him out. Side-by-side comparisons of the two songs show that they are different in their melodies and production.
Commercial performance and critical reception James Daykin of Entertainment Focus described the song as "less like a standalone single and more like the beginning of another significant chapter for Riley Green—one that [honors] country music's past while continuing to push his own career forward". The song was met with widespread praise from fans.
