Ways to Binge Drink for Super Bowl XLVI

Want a fun way to feel less like a couch potato this Super Bowl Sunday? Get off the couch and play some awesome drinking games to increase your enthusiasm and blood alcohol content. Here’s some quick easy ways to pass out before half time: take a shot every time Eli Manning throws a touchdown or every time Rob Gronkowski spikes the ball. Really, you just can't go wrong at a Super Bowl party with a bunch of beer.

Now realize watching the game is ¾ the fun but don’t stop there. Funneling beers during commercial breaks is not only appropriate it’s time management. Never mix the drinks during commercial breaks. For example your watching a Coors light train crash into a carnival? You better be throwing back a Heineken. That new hysterical Tequila Gold commercial, you better by swigging shots of Jack Daniels.

Before the start of the game you should make a list of about 10 words that you think you'll hear throughout the course of the game and assign a drink value to them. For instance, every time you hear the word "replay" you drink twice, the word "dynasty" you drink twice, "prediction" you drink once, and "touchdown" you drink once. Those are basic words, but if you want to up the degree of difficulty you could look for phrases like "felony assault", "wide right", "Super Bowl Shuffle", "Tom Brady", or any reference to anyone in the Manning family. Of course, the Brady suggestion may leave you pretty rocked.

Depending on how rowdy or reckless your group is willing to be there are numerous drinking games at your disposal.

Just remember to keep the rules simple, keep the rules light, and make sure they are clearly stated beforehand.
