Mayham's Mixers - Super Bowl Edition

Ah the Super Bowl - one of the greatest drinking days of the year. The big game is about stuffing your face, guzzling drinks, watching commercials and… oh yea, football.

Now I don’t have any advice on what you should or shouldn’t drink. Buying massive amounts of cheap beer and liquor is perfectly fine; however I do have some thoughts on how to maximize your buzz and fun during the big game.

The Super Bowl is interesting because a majority of fans don’t really have a rooting interest in the game itself. If you are one of the millions that fall into this category, you really have three options to make the game more exciting:

1. Bet on it – in addition to betting on the outcome of the game there are always a ton of fun props you can wager on. I for one put a little action on the coin flip every year. This year, you can even bet on what color top Kim Kardashian will be wearing. (I hope she comes straight from South Beach)
2. Drink
3. Bet and Drink

Anyone can just drink beer after beer before, during and after the game, so why not make it more exciting and fun for all at your viewing party by playing some drinking games. You could start off your day with a beer pong tournament, play some flip cup at halftime and make up your own game during the action. For example, you could take a shot after every offensive play longer than 25 yards, take three drinks every time Phil Simms says something stupid (you’ll be hammered by the start of the second quarter), chug a beer if there’s a defensive TD, whatever you want. It’s a great way to keep everyone involved and entertained.

One last thing, be smart about it, make sure you have a safe ride home lined up and don’t go chugging an entire pint of Vodka. DoubleDown knows what I’m talking about!

Cheers!
