Yea, you heard me right. A Drinking Game. For the entirety of Spring Break. Start the minute your last class ends, stop when you are cramming to finish your spring break homework Sunday night. If you play the game right, and smart, you will be the perfect amount of intoxicated the entire week.
THE RULES
- Safety first, absolutely. No casualties this year, y’all. Be smart. Time outs are one hundred percent allowed. Naps are encouraged. Eat plenty of food. Look out for your friends. Etcetera. We’re all adults. And nobody likes the obnoxious puker.
- Have a drink in your hand the entire time. (If you are on a time out, replace your alcoholic beverage with water and continue to play. Chances are, people will be too drunk to notice.)
- You can ONLY drink if you are around your friends! It’s weird to drink alone. And dangerous to be drunk alone.
- Tell EVERYONE about the rules. Old friend, new friends, red friends, blue friends. Hell, even tell strangers.
- Don’t give your friends shit if they chose to spend their break working or doing community service. That’s hella cooler than laying out for hours on end.
- No drunk crying. Just don’t.
- Water is key. Especially if you are out under the hot sun for hours at a time. Have fun, be a little reckless, but for the love of God, stay hydrated with actual H20, not just cheap beer and whatever mixed drink you can concoct at the moment.
PRO TIP #1: Bring snacks everywhere. They make you friends. I know this from experience. Also, the less money you spend on snacks is the more money you can spend on drinks.
PRO TIP #2: Invest in some Pedialyte: the hangover cure of the gods. You’ll need it.
TAKE A SIP:
- Every time you hear “SPRANG BRAKE.”
- Every time you see somebody you know from school/home/life. In fact, cheers them.
- Maybe stop drinking if you lose your friend(s). But definitely take a sip when you find them again.
- Whenever sand is somewhere it definitely shouldn’t be.
- Every time you reapply sunscreen or tanning lotion.
CHUG IF someone brings up Zika Virus. Ugh.
TAKE A SHOT every time you would be in class if it weren’t for spring break.
Have no fear, friends! I made a special edited version of this game if you are staying home for spring break! I know being around parents after the freedom of being unsupervised in college is tough, but don’t you worry -- you can play games too! Trust me, after seeing what you are missing out on (even though you are saving money and hanging with family,) you’re gonna need a drink or two. All the same rules still apply. The only things that have been revised are when you drink!
TAKE A SIP:
- Every time someone sends you a drunk snapchat of them on a beach
- Every time you see somebody you know from school/home/life. In fact, cheers them.
- Every time you get an email about school/life/work. (And read it. Not like you have anything better to do.)
- Maybe stop drinking when you are applying to jobs/internships… but start drinking again when you’ve submitted it.
FINISH A DRINK for every episode you binge/movie you watch in all your movie marathons.
CHUG IF your parents try to ask you to do chores or hang out. (Bonus: Chug with them)
TAKE A SHOT every time you would be in class if it weren’t for spring break.
For those of you on Alternate Break Trips? Don’t drink. Just do good things and keep making the world a better place.
There y’all have it. A guaranteed recipe for the best spring break of your lives. Just remember: be the right amount of drunk so you don’t risk death, incarceration, doing harm to others, or annoying the people around you. Stick with your friends at all times. Have an absolute blast.
Seriously, live it up. Because chances are that when you come back and school smacks you in the face, you’ll be hungover well into May. Don't worry, though, St. Patty's day is just around the corner.
