Facebook can be one of the biggest ways to waste time as a young adult. You can sit and refresh your feed for hours or go through someone’s photos from the last five years or even argue with complete strangers until you’ve lost all hope in humanity. Here is a way to make Facebook a little more entertaining on those nights where you want to hang out alone. It's a drinking game!
Required Materials
- A computer, tablet, or mobile device
- A readily accessible supply of beer and liquor
- Introversion, social anxiety, or a general hate for people
How to Play
First, open Facebook. For each event that you see, drink the corresponding amount.
- If someone posts about the 2016 presidential candidates: take 1 shot (2 if it’s Trump, God help us).
- If someone posts cryptic song lyrics that are an apparent reference to their life at the moment: if you just don’t care, take a shot. If you, at least, love the song, take a sip, then realize how they’re totally right about those lyrics and your own life is spiraling out of control and you need someone to save, SAAAAAAVE YOUUUUUUU.
- If you see someone whose profile picture is a lifted truck or sporty car: take 1 shot. If your own profile picture is a lifted truck or sporty car, shotgun a beer, because that’s something you were probably going to do today anyway.
- If someone has recently gotten engaged: if you’re 24 or younger, take a sip. If you’re 25 and older or haven’t had a real relationship in years, drink until the crushing weight of your loveless, lonely existence subsides.
- If someone announces they’re pregnant: take 1 shot, then pour one out for those poor souls.
- If you see a heated argument about religion, politics, or sports: take a sip for every ignorant comment or rebuttal until you eventually agree with someone.
- If someone uses a meme incorrectly: take a sip. Don’t worry, there will be plenty. If you don’t know what a meme is, take a shot. What is this, your first day on the internet?
- If one of your friends shares a photo of everyone together having a good time on that night they swore they didn’t have plans: take 1 shot for every person tagged in the photo, and chase with your tears. Drunkenly tell yourself you had more fun at home watching The Office for the 3rd time.
- If you see a racist post by a grandparent: take sips until the embarrassment abates. You love them, but come on Jerry, the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, get over it.
- If someone posts pictures of their baby FOR THE 30TH DAMN TIME KAREN ALL BABIES LOOK THE SAME AT THAT AGE STOP: take shots until the baby looks cute.
- If one of your old high school classmates is advertising Younique, Plexus, body wraps, or Mary Kay: take 1 shot and congratulate yourself, you (probably) have a real job and don’t need to harass old classmates for money to survive.
- If someone posts a bible verse or picture of Jesus: fill a glass with water, turn it into wine, and sip. If the verse is being used out of context to support a biased opinion, just start taking shots because there isn’t enough wine in the world to deal with this.
- If you see something about the Kardashians: shotgun a beer, then another, and another, until you blackout or die because you can’t stand to be on the same planet as them.
If you’re not at least halfway dead, then you need to find yourself some more exciting friends. If you’re so drunk you can barely read this anymore, then have some water and wait for the room to stop spinning. Happy drinking!
