Jason Lipshutz from Billboard opined that "[Rexha] stumbles through a bad breakup and reaches P!nk-level anger toward the one that drove her to drink." Steff Yotka for Nylon similarly lauded the singer's vocals and the song's music, commenting that "[it] highlights [her] crazy-good voice [with] a beat that's so dance-worthy." Bradley Stern of Idolator dubbed the song as a "dark, devastating heartbreak anthem". Writing for MTV, Stern labeled it a "certifiable smash" and commented that "[she] wails before diving headfirst into a giant wave of EDM." A writer for iHeartRadio commended the singer's vocals, adding "she's already got killer vocal chops, proven songwriting street cred, and an incredible debut single with ['the song']." Commercially, "I Can't Stop Drinking About You" reached number 15 on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. The song further peaked at number 12 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay and number 31 on the Mainstream Top 40 rankings. Music video The music video for "I Can't Stop Drinking About You" was uploaded to Rexha's YouTube channel on 12 August 2014. Directed by Michael Mihail, Rexha alluded that she wanted to capture the feeling of heart break and the whirlwind of emotions, with "a bit of anger, frustration, sadness, the craziness", and the "fear of the unknown". The video draws inspiration from the American psychological drama film Girl, Interrupted (1999) and apocalyptic drama film Melancholia (2011). It starts with Rexha lying on a bed inside a vacant house, proceeding with her sitting around a table in a garden, surrounded by empty bottles and a porcelain set. In the following scene, she is seen lying flat on the floor in a dark room, with empty bottles around her, which she begins throwing at a nearby wall. Further interspersed shots show her dressed in a white dress in a dark body of water, facing a man at whom she is screaming. While Mandy Rogers of EQ Music described it as a "smouldering and dramatic" visual, Lipshutz from Billboard said that it "introduces Rexha as a striking pop personality while zeroing in on her most dramatic impulses."
