Today the New Orleans Saints meet the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV. Many will root for their team with food and drink, so why not play a game. A drinking game. As always; drink responsibly, don’t over do it and never drink and drive.

We like to keep it simple here at Drink of the Week, so each take one shot (beer, booze, soda, water your choice!) at each of the following:

• The camera finds it’s way to the Manning Family
• Peyton’s tie to New Orleans is mentioned
• The camera finds it’s way to Kim Kardashian
• Hurricane Katrina in mentioned
• Talk of how the Colts are still “looking for respect”
• A player is said to be giving “110%”
• The camera finds someone wearing a “Who Dat” T-Shirt
• Someone in the room says “Who Dat”
• Someone in the room says “I’m watching more for the commercials than the game”
• Someone in the room twitters about the game or commercials
• We get scenes from South Florida!
• Any mentioned of Social Media
• There is talk of and “Air Show”
• First Who song!
• The winning coach gets doused in Gatorade

We could go on all day, but we want to see what you all can come up with at home. Have at it in the comments below.

Cheers!

Colts or Saints we have a cocktail for you:

- The Blue Stampede
- Who Dat Highball

Jet Set Games wants to help you decide who’s picking up the bar tab. Its new app “Who’s Buying” is a multiplayer game that tests reflexes and sobriety to determine who will be paying for the night’s booze.

What challenges lie ahead?

The Wheel:
Reflexes floundering after a few too many? Sit back and let The Wheel decide your fate. Place your marks and watch as the monkey and his martini shaker decide Who’s Buying…and who still has his clams.

Multiball:
Up to four players can jump in this Polynesian-themed game of ping-pong. The first to let a flaming ball in their goal will find their totem in the woodchipper and their wallet empty.

Bounce Back:
Take control of a tiki and blow your coconut into your opponent’s goal in this Hawaiian-style air hockey game. Who’s Buying? Well, that would be the first person to swallow.

I’m  not sure I need this app, since my rule of thumb is you’re paying.

This is a once every 4 years event, so cocktails are in order.

Take a drink every time:

- A state changes color on the TV news electoral map
- The is a “breaking story”
- News says this is the most important, symbolic, historic election in US history
- We see how the candidates spent the day
- Station touts it’s coverage as the best, the leader, etc…
- There is a Pundit battle
- News interviews Joe the Plumber or any of us regular folk
- Your candidate wins/loses. Either way you have a reason to drink

Feel free to add to the list in the comments below.

Don’t know what to drink? Try one of these All American Cocktails - yes the post is from July 4th, but it still does the trick.

Is there really a need to elaborate here? It’s beer pong with a spooky theme. Feel free to substitute your favorite Halloween Punch for beer.

As always - Party Responsibly! Is says so on the box.

Staying in with friends and a good (or bad) movie for Halloween? Here’s a Halloween drinking game to accompany your home horror film screening. It works best with slasher films such as “Halloween,” “Scream,” “Friday the 13th” and “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”

Since there are more than a few rules to keep track of, you may want to split into two teams and divvy up the “one drink” rules and then all share the “two drink” rules. You can add rules specific to the film you’re watching.

Take one drink every time:

• You can see the killer but the character on screen cannot.
• The victim runs up a flight of stairs.
• The victim locks him/herself in a bathroom.
• A character says “I’ll be right back.”
• There is a false scare.
• People decide it is a good idea to split up rather than stick together.
• One character comforts another and assures them “it’s all over now” when it clearly is not.
• Someone opens a door and a body falls out.
• Anyone drinks alcohol.
• A victim trips while being chased.

Take two drinks every time:

• The killer speaks. (This doesn’t include talking on the phone.)
• The killer actually runs.
• A victim is killed during the day.
• Someone thinks the killer is dead and unwisely goes to investigate the body only to discover he is still alive.
• A character hides under the bed and witnesses the killer murdering one of the other characters.

The guys at Asylum found this Presidential Debate Drinking Game created by the team at Coed Magazine. Beware this focuses on buzz words, so you could get rather tipsy. The took about 2 dozen buzz words, such as Terrorist, Hurricane, the Economy and put them in the one, two and three drink categories.

Asylum added a few of their own. Our favorites:

- Drink every time a candidate compares “the folks on Wall Street” to the “folks on Main Street.”
- Drink if you mistake Sarah Palin for Tina Fey impersonating Sarah Palin.

Not to be left on the side lines, DOTW’s addition to this game

- Every time a candidate refers to “Joe Six Pack”, drink, well - a six pack! Of course, not that fancy micro-brewed or, god forbid, imported beer, it has to be good old cheap American brew. Olympia, PBR, or Busch will do just fine.

With hundreds of hours Olympic coverage to watch over the next two weeks, we figured a drinking game was in order. Of course, we ask that you drink responsibly. There aren’t any Gold Medals for finishing this one first.

Keeping things simple, take a drink each time:

1) There is a reference to the Olympics being “China’s coming out party”
2) They show special interest story about an athlete
3) A commentator tells you what the athlete is thinking
4) They run that scary United Airlines commercial
5) Each time an athlete screws up, they say “He/She was perfect in practice”
6) Each time they pan to George Bush (feel free to do a line of coke as well, *not condoned by DOTW)
7) Each time there is a highlight reel, mixed with the Goo Goo Dolls
8) A former Olympian/Commentator let’s us know what they would have done differently or reminisces on the old days
9) They have a reporter wander around Beijing
10) They reference past glory or a new dynasty
11) Bob Costas has a guest on the couch
12) They show us Yao Ming, Kobe Bryant or LeBron James
13) Each time your country wins a Gold Medal
14) Commentator says athlete is bringing their “A Game”, is going to “Shake things up” or gives 110%
