The 2012 Summer Olympics have already begun. The Opening Ceremony is Friday night. Confused? Yeah, we are too. Stop thinking about it and play this drinking game. It will help soothe your worried mind.
Take one sip when:
- The commentator tells us how much something cost
- The commentators openly talk about an athlete’s attractiveness
- Anything is compared to the Beijing ceremonies
- You hear the phrase “this is what the Olympics is all about”
- Usain Bolt is hyped up
- A country whose name ends in ‘istan’ appears
- The word “spectacular” or “moment” is mentioned.
- There is a reference to the 1948 London Olympics
- There is an arial shot of the stadium
- The commentators remark on the brilliant ingenuity of the “artificial clouds” inside the stadium -- because that’s what London needs … more rain clouds
- There is a close-up of Hope Solo or Alex Morgan
- An athlete is shown taking a picture on their phone
- A spectator or athlete is shown crying
- A commentator inadvertently mentions how much London public transportation sucks
- An English commentator stresses the importance of “Indian influence in the United Kingdom”
Chug half a beer every time:
- A farm animal doing something not planned is shown (Finish your bottle if a PETA member tries to go Rambo and ruin the show)
- A flag that has five or more colors in it is shown
- A reference to “Slumdog Millionaire” is made (this might happen more often than you think)
- 15 minutes goes by and a shot of David Beckham doesn’t appear
- Danny Boyle is shown crying
- A Dream Team reference is made
- A mistake in the opening show is made
- A royal family member is shown
Finish the drink in your hand when:
- An interview is carried out on a spectator who is evidently drunk
- A mistake in the alphabetical order of teams entering the stadium occurs
- A team is made up of only women (this won’t happen)
- A delegation has less than 10 athletes
- Queen Elizabeth II is shown not waving or smiling
Take a shot every time:
- A country you have never heard of is mentioned
- A country is only represented by one athlete
- James Bond parachutes into the stadium
- An athlete or performer falls
- A country’s delegation is shown for less than three seconds
Game Over:
Finish every beer in the house when you see a female athlete representing Saudi Arabia
