BACK IN THE GAME

Dearest dedicated drinkers,

After an unfortunately lengthy hiatus, in which we flirted dangerously with adulthood and the real world, we are back and ready to recommit to our best bros Miller, Bud, Johnny, Jack and José!

We've got a whole new slew of drinking games in our arsenal which we will be adding weekly on Thursdays, just in time for the weekend and any / all Little Friday events you might have planned!

As always, please feel free to submit any games / toasts / whatever of your own you have to drinkingwithrules@gmail.com !

L'Chaim!

Oscars Drinking Game

Gearing up for Oscars? Love 'em or hate 'em, this drinking game will make it much more tolerable!

Oscars Drinking Game

DRINK WHEN:

• Someone in the audience has a really obvious emotional reaction (disappointment, shock, happiness)
• A silent movie joke is made
• The orchestra cuts off an acceptance speech
• The acceptor remarks on the orchestra's cutting off his or her acceptance speech
• Someone says "wow"
• You realize Meryl Streep is your hero (so the whole thing? -- Ed.)

ALSO:

• Take an extra drink when you realize you're drinking because you're bored
• Waterfall during the montage of dead celebrities

HERE'S THE IMPORTANT ONE:

• If your pick for a given category wins, give a drink
• If your pick for a given category loses, take a drink

(thanks Lucile!)

We'd love to hear some suggestions for the halftime game! We will be live-updating, so bring them on!

LET'S GO PATS!

Chandeliers

This has quickly become a new party staple for how quick and dirty it is!

You will need:
Cups (one more than there are people)
One ping pong ball
Beer

1. Grab some cups (one more cup than there are people) and sit in a circle. Set the cups up in a circle with one cup in the middle. Each of these cups will belong to one of you, so it's usually recommended to touch the cup you think is yours before you start.

2. Fill each cup on the outer circle with a reasonable, quickly chuggable amount of beer. Fill the middle cup much fuller (as full as you are feeling adventurous.)

3. One person starts by trying to bounce the ping pong ball into one of the cups.
     a) If it lands in a cup that belongs to someone else, that person has to drink their drink.
     b) If it lands in your own cup, you get to choose who drinks.
     c) If it lands in the center cup, everyone drinks their own cup as fast as they can and slams it back on the table. Last person to finish has to drink the center cup.

4. If you miss, just pass it to the next person.

That's it! Have fun!

Optional: We've discovered adding a "questions" round makes this game go a little slower (it is VERY fast paced). Every time the ball bounces in someone else's cup, you get to ask them a question. If it lands in your own cup, you ask a question to everyone, but you still pick. If it lands in the middle, everyone drinks as usual.
