Another Wasted Night was the first full-length album from Boston, Massachusetts hardcore punk/speed metal band, Gang Green. It is perhaps best remembered for their punk cover of the tune "Voices Carry", written by Aimee Mann for her band 'Til Tuesday.

In 1985 Chris Doherty reemerged with an all new Gang Green lineup consisting of former members of Smegma and the Nunz, D.A.M.M. (Drunks Against Mad Mothers) and The Freeze. This new lineup, which consisted of Chuck Stilphen (lead guitar), Glen Stilphen (bass, vocals) and Walter Gustafson (drums), is the most famous nationally as it was both the first to tour and the one that recorded the songs "Alcohol" and "Skate to Hell". This edition of Gang Green released the Another Wasted Night LP on Taang! Records in 1986, which is considered to be the band's best recording and is regarded as one of the definitive hardcore punk records of its time.

The song "Alcohol" (C. Stilphen/C. Doherty) from Another Wasted Night has been covered numerous times by the bands Tankard, a German thrash metal band, featured the song on their album Chemical Invasion, Impaled Nazarene, a black metal band from Finland, who included it on their EP entitled Motörpenis which was released in 1996, Boston punkrock band Dropkick Murphys covered the song on their "Back to the Hub" 7 inch, and also included it on their live album Live on St. Patrick's Day from Boston, MA, The Meatmen covered it on their album Pope on a Rope, Swedish band No Fun at All covered the song on their album No Straight Angles (US edition), and Metallica have been known to play the song live. The song also appears on the soundtrack to the 2010 film Jackass 3D.
