Pregame BY JASMINE ANDERSON DESIGN BECKY EILERSILLUSTRATION KATY MOORE PHOTO MATT WETTENGELSpice Up Your Pregame getting a little stale? Fear no more, we’ve compiled a list of drinking activities more exciting than the classic fall-back Ring of Fire to amp up your weekend (or week) nights.Dig out that old Nintendo 64, crack open some beers and you’ve got Mario Cart’s older sibling, Beerio Cart. Start drinking when the race begins and down your drink before crossing the finish line. Here’s the catch: No drinking and driving—set down your controller to take a swig.Be a moose. Grab a bowl, a quarter and an empty ice tray numbered 1-8 on both sides. Fill the bowl with beer and construct a ramp with the ‘8’ end of the ice tray on the bowl and the ‘1’ end on the table. Take turns trying to bounce the quarter off the table and into the ice tray. If the quarter lands in the left row, you drink. If the quarter lands in the right row, you give out drinks. Give out or take the number of drinks labeled on the cube the quarter lands in. If someone is unlucky enough to bounce the quarter into the bowl, everyone must yell “MOOSE” and give themselves moose antlers with their hands. Whoever acts last must drink the entire bowl.Create shots so delicious they are hard to take all at once, starting with these: Tennessee Log Jumper1 oz. 99 Bananas 1 oz. Island Blue Pucker½ oz. Redbull½ oz. pineapple juiceCherry Cheesecake2 oz. vanilla liqueur1 oz. Jagermeister½ oz. cranberry juiceOatmeal Cookie¾ oz. butterscotch Schnapps¾ oz. Irish cream liqueursplash of Jagermeistersplash of cinnamon SchnappsPower hours never get old. Spice them up by picking a ridiculous genre of music to set the mood for the rest of the night. Hop onto powerhourzone.com, hit play and take a sip every time the song changes.Make classic board games into large versions—substitute the pieces for shots and use an old pizza box for the board. Aircraft carrier on D4? Bottoms up!Get everyone involved in a game of dress up. Whoever creates the worst/best outfit shotguns a beer.Embark on an adventure called “Wine Around the World.” Travel around famous campus spots and enjoy your classiest boxed wine with friends. Just don’t get too out of hand—leave the slapping of the bag for the privacy of your apartment or a public intox citation may be in your future.Ever had the urge to get drunk with Bill Nye? Have each guest bring a bottle of alcohol and mixer to make experimental shots—flaming shots should be attempted with caution and diluting ethanol is just a bad idea. Try this: Alien Nipple ½ oz. butterscotch Schnapps ¼ oz. Bailey’s Irish cream ¼ oz. Midori melon liqueurStarting early? Have a potluck. Pick a theme and have each person bring a different dish and alcohol to match. Don’t worry if you’re not a gourmet chef—fast food counts as a theme.Buy a cowbell, put it around the neck of your drunkest friend and take a shot every time it rings.THE EDITOR5
