We may not be Olympic athletes, but we sure have a gold medal in drinking! Commemorate their athletic achievements and your liver calisthenics with these rules for the 2012 Olympic Summer Games!
DRINK EVERY TIME
- Someone doesn't stick the landing
- A personal interest story airs (Drink again if it's ultra sad)
- National anthem plays that you have never heard before
- National anthem plays that you know all the words to (Drink again if it's not your own)
- Ugly uniforms
- Crying parent
- Comparisons of 2012 London Opening Ceremony to 2008 Beijing Opening Ceremony
- Someone refers to the queen for no reason
- Someone speculates on Kate Middleton's outfit (double for Pippa)
- Parents are coaches
- Someone eats it during the hurdles
- Gabby Douglas, just because.
- Any time anyone says "Phelps"
- Someone is an "expert" on a sport, despite never having played it (drink again if they've never seen it)
DRINK TWICE / DO A SHOT EVERY TIME
- Someone breaks a record
- Eastern Europe wins a gold medal
- Anything about North Korea is mentioned
- A woman is the flag bearer
- Olympic Planning Fail
- Someone gets hurt
- You find yourself watching a sport you have never heard of but who cares because it's the Olympics (finish your beer for this one, let's be honest)
FINISH YOUR DRINK
- Every time you are overwhelmed with pride for your country and shed tears
USA USA USA!
