Beersketball - A basketball drinking game

Our goal here On Irish Road is to bring you an opportunity to drink at every aspect of the sporting world. In honor of the start of basketball season we have Beersketball. We usually like to play this game to Pitt University's squad (since we don't have an NBA team in Pittsburgh) but we want our Pro Basketball fans to be able to kick off the season right. The following are the official rules to Beersketball, a drinking game played while watching a basketball game.

1. TEAM CHOOSE
-All drinkers must choose a team to root for and stick with such team during the entirety of the game. If one of the teams is from your hometown you must root for that team. If you are an alumni of one of the schools then you must root for that team. In the event that one team is a hometown team and the other is your former school then you get to choose.

2. PLAYER DRAFT
-All drinkers must choose a player from the team they are rooting for. No bench player may be chosen. No player may be chosen twice until all of the starters are picked.

3. POINTS RULE
-One second of drinking time is required for each point your team scores. Example: If your team scores 2 you drink 2 seconds. You drink 3 for three seconds.

4. PLAYER RULE
-If your player scores the points you drink double.



5. DUNK RULE
-Anytime a Player from either team dunks the ball everyone must drink 2 seconds. If the player is from your team you drink 2 sec for the dunk, 2 for the points and if he is your player you drink double (8 sec).

6. BEYOND THE ARC RULE

-Players rooting for a team that loses must take a shot.

THE COOLEST (DRINKING) GAME ON EARTH

Since the NHL has been dubbed the ‘Coolest Game on Earth’ my buddies and I, who are hockey nuts, decided that it needed the honor of a drinking game. After we started we realized we needed to jot down the rules sometime when we were sober. Well now they're here for your drinking pleasure. And think, only two games late!

Materials needed:

Boobs are not a required material but they go well with a shot glass

1. One shot glass per person
2. Two Quarters per person
3. A whole bunch of pennies (preferably 20+)
4. Beer per Person in Cup (no bottles or cans)
5. Choice liquor (whatever floats your boat)
6. Game Face (that’s right … bring it bitch!)

Another excuse to view a girl without a shirt


Rules:

1. KEY PLAYERS SELECTION
-Drinkers must all decide on 3-4 Players from the hockey game to be a part of their drinking game. Preferable if chosen from the 3rd and 4th lines. These will be your Key Players.

2. KEY PLAYER SCRAMBLE
-The scramble goes like this. The play-by-play announcer calls the names of the players on the ice. If he announces a Key Player’s name (it doesn’t matter if it’s during play or not), all of the drinkers must try to bounce a quarter into their shot glass. Last person to do so receives a penny. In the event that Key Player’s are called back to back you must get two quarters in. It will be run like there are two quick rounds. If there are 4 drinkers and 3 get quarters in, the 4th drinker gets a penny and can start on ‘round 2’ of the back to back Key Player names immediately. Whoever loses that next round will take the next penny.

3. FIVE PENNY SLAM
-Once a Drinker accumulates 5 pennies he must immediately take a shot. They can then return their pennies to the middle of the table (or wherever you’re keeping them).

If you're keeping score at home you owe 10 seconds

4. GOAL!!!!!
-Drink 10 seconds every time a goal is scored!

5. PENALTY
-Drink 5 seconds for every Penalty.

6. ICING
-No fat-ass! Get off my Betty Crocker! This is Hockey Icing! Drink 5 seconds every time the puck is iced.

If you're a man you'll drink more for a victory

7. FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!!!!!
-If there is a Manly display of power you will reward that display by doing something else manly. Drink the entire time the players are scrapping! You may stop if your beer is finished. But go get another one! You are rewarded for your own display of Man Power by not having to drink 5 seconds for the penalty.






8. BLOOD SPORT
-Anytime you see blood be manly and drink 5 seconds.

Can you say Luck?

9. CLANG!!! SCRAMBLE!!!
-If the puck is rung off the pipes every one must bounce their quarter into their shot glass. Last one to make it has to take an immediate shot.

10. SPEED RULE
-The Hockey game will not stop for you just because you’re a little bitch who is getting owned in quarters or if your beer has run out. If a Key Players name is called or a post is hit with a puck while you are getting your shot you must drink it as fast as you can before you can play that quarters round. If everyone gets their quarter in before you return you receive another penny. If it happens while you’re refreshing your beer then hurry!

Nice to meet you Mr. Alfredsson. Big fan.

11. JACKED UP!!!
-Heavy body checks are rewarded with a 3 second drink

Pretty soon I'll have a ring you can kiss during these handshakes little bro'

12. BONUS – STAAL GAMES!!!!!
-This is an awesome time in the NHL right now because there are three Staal brothers in the league (the 4th is a good prospect). Two of them are in the same division. If you’re playing this game and two brothers are in it playing each other then two of your Key Players must be the Staal brothers. And anytime they show the parents it’s a 5 second social.

Oregon State vs. Penn State: A football diary

Today Runhigh calls me up and says “Hey, wanna play the football drinking rules to the Penn State game?” Well …. Okay. It doesn’t take a lot to convince me to drink. I mean granted the game doesn’t start until 3:30 when my girlfriend gets off of work but I’ll just tell her to go hang out with her family, who’s in town, until the game is over. She won’t (will) mind. But this is all so we can use the newly acquired rules that me and Runhigh decided on. Since it’s a college game we had to modify a few of the rules.

Change 1) Ed Hochuli Rule is changed to the Joe Pa Rule – Every time you see Joe Pa drink for 5 seconds.

Change 2) The King Rule is changed to the College Rule – Anytime a commercial for one of the two colleges playing appears you have to drink for 10 seconds.

Change 3) The Maddenism Rule is changed to the Sideline reporter Rule – Anytime they show the sideline reporter you have to drink 5 seconds.

On to the drinking!

3:00 - Ohio has officially blown the game to Ohio St. Me and Runhigh go on a beer run.

3:10 – We grab a case of Pennsylvania’s Finest and while returning Runhigh tries to honk my horn as we pass an attractive 15 yr old. I block it. Thank God.

3:27 – They do a Joe Pa montage. We decide to drink 10 seconds. ABC starts our drinking off big.

3:31 – They show a sideline reporter and Joe Pa back to back. We have half of our first beer done in the first 5 minutes.

3:34 – Penn State puts the opening kickoff out of bounds. God I have a bad feeling about this. At least they didn’t return it for more drinking.

3:37 – Oregon State returns the favor and gives a pretty crappy punt. Runhigh reminds me that the kickoff had a penalty and the Penalty Rule is enacted. We decide the kick went out at the 20 and we owe 20 seconds. First beer done.

3:39 – Penn State throws a first down. 5 more seconds. Eff!

3:42 – Paul MaGuire asks if anyone mentions that the PSU QB is from his high school. I shout at the TV that no one effing cares. Penn State scores on the next play. 7 seconds of drinking for the points. Second beer is done.

3:56 - A couple of first downs. A couple of drinks. Penn State scores and we drink 7 more. 14-0 with 5 minutes left in the 1st quarter.

4:00 – Oregon St returns the kick for 20 yards. They immediately get a first down. Beer three done. It’s been a half hour. This day is awesome. We’re getting so effed up. Yes!

4:15 – Cheerleaders come on the tube. I finish my fourth during their airtime.

4:16 – Me and Runhigh get into a weed discussion. We still decide that that weed should be legalized. We also decide that we shouldn't touch it since our government related jobs drug test.

4:17 – PSU scores. 21-0.

4:29 – PSU drives down and scores again. We drink some more. I’m finishing my sixth as Runghigh is pouring his sixth. I’m bringing glory to my screen name. We start discussing Obama on the Bill O’Reilly show and our personal views on Iran. How do politics keep coming into a day of drinking and football?!? I hate election years!

4:33 – I have an apartment with a balcony overlooking the street. A cream colored car parks outside and we decide that my apartment walls are the same color. We keep making fun of the car until the owner comes out and moves it.

4:39 – Runhigh starts drinking big to catch up. 6 beers to five is a lot so he has a lot of drinking but he fares well.

4:40 – OSU finally scores. I cuss and the neighbors look up from across the street. Eff them! I’m drinking bitches!!! Runhigh complete his beer and is half of a beer behind me! I’ve gotta work. When we go out to the Southside he usually is in the lead. I’ve gotta keep on offense.

4:42 – Runhigh points out a beer commercial. We drink some more. I finish my seventh. I rule! He starts bringing his ‘A’ game.

4:49 – I update my girlfriend on the score. She immediately calls me but only to say “Thanks for letting me know the score! I love you! Goodbye!” I usually talk to her for at least five minutes and I tell Runhigh of my shock of a 30 second call. He says “Is this a new Happy Gilmore?” We laugh and drink. She doesn't know that I'm getting wasted. I'll be yelled at later. That's my incentive to not be coherent for it.

4:51 – PSU scores! 35-7 the Lions are kicking ass. I’m a half beer ahead of Runhigh. I love this game!

4:54 – We listen to a voicemail that Runhigh sent me last night (which woke up my girlfriend and pissed her off). He tells me that he made out with a fat chick to wingman for his buddy. He told me nothing happened earlier! Liar! He’s a chubby chaser!! Lol! Okay, at least he didn’t screw her!

4:57 – PSU goes for a 60 yard FG. The miss by like two yards!

5:01 – Sideline reporter interviews Joe Pa. 10 second drink! 35-7at halftime.

5:03 – Runhigh finishes his 7th beer. I finish my 8th. Runhigh decides he needs to drinks faster to “obliterate the memory of the fat chick from last night!” He claims no wood happened. It was just wingman tactics. Unfortunately I believe him so I can’t rag on him too much.

5:20 – Runhigh and I discuss the advantages of girlfriends that give morning head. This discussion is too raunchy to blog but I’m sure that most guys know what’s going on here. Gotta love the chick that’s about morning head! You’ve got a keeper there!

5:27 – Penn State fumbles at the 1 yard line. The PSU fans start to give the safety sign. I love fans that know football. Idiots … they should know better than to give a safety sign. Oregon State recovers and has to travel the whole field. Impossible!

5:28 - Oregon State gets a first down. And then another. Damn! Half of my beer for a turnover and then 6 seconds for two consecutive first downs!

5:38 – ABC shows us what is happened before and after Joe Pa has been born. Runhigh says sliced bread is the best thing since Joe Paterno (1926 vs. 1928). Joe Pa wins by two years!

5:42 – ABC let's us know that WVU is losing 10-3. We love it!

5:44 – PSU QB rushes for the TD. 38-7 Penn State! We’re losing count of how many beers we drank. The case is quickly disappearing.

5:50 – ABC interviews the PSU cheerleaders. So we add 5 seconds for the sideline reporters, about 5 for the cheerleaders and then PSU intercepts so we add a half of beer for the turnover. Shiite!!!!!!!!!!!

5:52 – Field Goal Penn state! 41-7 the Lions are up!

5:56 – ABC just showed us that East Carolina is beating WVU 17-3. Go Pitt!

6:01 – My buddy Joey K tells me that it’s cool that I bring Runhigh over to UFC 88 tonight. Liddell vs. Evans! I love Liddell. He’ll kick ass. Runhigh tells me I have a perfect face for radio. I flick him off and tell him to screw himself. “Fuck you Runhigh!” Anyways I’m cool and Runhigh sucks dick! He informs me he charges for that now. I tell him them the prices are too high and that he’s gotta pay for his own rent!

6:16 – The punter fakes his punt and gets the first down. The Refs call a penalty and bring it back. They re-kick the punt. Damnit! Runhigh calls everyone gay!

6:18 – They show the Phelps commercial. Runhigh declares that we should drink to it so we do! 5 seconds! Damn! I drink my ass off! I start a rant that is incoherent and causes more drinking. These rules are no joke!

6:27 – Penn State punts it away. The OSU returner get’s Jacked up So we drink 5 seconds. No slowing down for the weak! Drink 5 seconds!

6:37 – Joe Pa is shown like 72 times. We owe something close to 47 seconds worth of drinking time. Whatever! My math is horrible after 12 beers in 3 hours. We drink some more. There are like 3 beers left but they were from a previous case. I out drink Runhigh! I own Runhigh. Suck it Germans!!! I rule!

6:40 – Penn State is a winner! Joe Pa wins! 45-14 PSU wins!

So me and Runhigh finish off the rest of the beer. It’s a celebration!
It’s time to pass out so that we can drive to UFC later. Damn I’m messed up.
Runhigh goes online and figures out that our BAC is somewhere north of .20 …. Maybe my girlfriend will drive. Right now I’m walking … well, okay … I’m stumbling down Irish Road.

Football Drinking Rules

There's nothing more American than watching football. Unless it's watching football while drinking. Here On Irish Road we dare to take it to the next level. While our teams are competing to bring glory to our hometown we can show our support by challenging ourselves to drink better than we ever have by establishing drinking rules. The Continuation Rule once again applies in certain situations marked by the triple asterisk ***. Some Rules won't apply to every game but may serve as a model for a new rule so no drinking is lost.




1. The Manning Rule - Anytime someone from the Manning Family is shown or referenced you must drink for 5 seconds. *** Continuation Rule


2. Ed "Eddie Guns" Hochuli Rule - Anytime you see the Hoch and his guns you gotta drink for 5 seconds.


3. First Down - When either team earns a first down drink for 3 seconds.

4. The 20 yard Rule - Any play that goes for 20 yards or more equals a 5 second drink. Don't forget to add 3 seconds for the First down!

5. The 50 yard Rule - Any play that goes for 50 yards or more equals a 10 second drink. Add 3 more for the first down!

6. Turnover - Whenever either team commits a turnover finish half of your beer. Remember to add any other rules that apply (20 yard, 50 yard, points).

7. Scoring Rule - Drink 1 second for every point scored (not the total score, just on the current play).

8. Safety Rule - Safeties kick ass! If your Defense is awesome enough to earn one you get to drink a whole beer. Don't forget to drink 2 seconds extra for the points!

9. Runback Rule - Anytime somebody returns a kick or a punt for a touchdown you finish your beer. This supersedes the points rule. You don't have to drink extra for the points.

10. You Got Jacked! - On any big hit that invokes a reaction from the group deserves a 3 second drink. The majority must vote it a big hit.

11. Penalty Rule - Whenever your team (or team rooting for) gets a penalty you must drink one second for every yard. If the penalty is over 20 yards then you must finish your beer.

12. The King Social - If the Burger King appears then you drink for 10 seconds.

13. Beer Commercials - Anytime you see a beer commercial or beer is plugged you have to drink 5 seconds.
14. Cheerleader Social - Drink the entire time the cameras are trained on the cheerleaders.

15. Maddenisms - If John Madden is announcing you have to drink 5 seconds whenever he utters a classic Maddenism. If a quote is disputed it must be voted by the majority of the group.

Note: If Brett Favre is mentioned instantly drink.

16. Winners and Losers - If your team wins Finish your beer and take a celebratory shot! If your team loses Finish your beer, chug a full beer and then take a shot to drown away your misery.

And always listen to the wise words of Joe Pa!

Enjoy! And happy Drinking!

Thanks to Runhigh for contributions to the rules.

Tom Cruise Drinking Games

Here On Irish Road we love all things that require alcohol and games. Occasionally we'll provide you with some of the more fun drinking games that we've come up with. The rules are simple. Drink. Well okay ... they're a little more complicated than that but not by much. I'll delay no further

We have officially started drinking games to Tom Cruise movies. Before it was a funny coincidence. Now We're trying to Create rules to his movies. But, when you think about it, it only makes sense to get retarded drunk to someone who is the biggest proponent of Scientology, a retardedly stupid religion*. [That's right, I asterisked it bitches!!!]

***NOTE - Rules marked with 3 asterisks are Continuation Rules. The Continuation Rule states that anytime drinking rules occur back to back you must wait to drink until you find out how many are compiled. Then you drink 2 seconds of beer for every rule. I.E.-if 4 rules occur within a 10 second period you wouldn't drink 3 then 3 then 3 then 3. You'd wait. Count all the rules and then drink one 8 second gulp. Thus ensuring your sanity and kidneys. Trust me ... This happens a lot and you'd kill yourself if you'd try and keep up. This rule is also useful if you have losers who try to get out of drinking what they owe by drinking like five seconds worth of beer when they owe 12 seconds. Thus the 'CONTINUATION RULE'.

TOP GUN

1. Drink 3 seconds every time a Call Sign [i.e.-Goose, Maverick, Iceman] is said. If such call sign is abbreviated DO NOT DRINK. Trust me on this one. Mav is said in place of Maverick like 723 times. That saves you about 2 cases of beer ... Per person.***CONTINUATION RULE

2. Take a shot [your choice - mine is vodka] or finish your beer every time they do a fly-by.

A FEW GOOD MEN

1. Drink 3 seconds every time they say 'Code Red'.***CONTINUATION RULE

2. Drink 3 seconds every time they say the full rank. [It is always useful to have a military person present to point out when they use abbreviations or shortened words for the rank i.e. - When they refer to the Marines as Commander that is their position not their rank but when they refer to the Navy as Commander that is their rank]***CONTINUATION RULE

3. Finish your drink or take a shot when you see Tom Cruise holding a bat. [if you are stupid like Myself and Runhigh and you own a beer boot ... And such mentioned boot is used during a drinking game DO NOT FINISH BEER FOR THIS RULE. Do yourself a favor and just drink the equivalent of 1 beer].

DAYS OF THUNDER

1. Drink 3 seconds every time the Cars "Trade Paint"***CONTINUATION RULE

2. Drink 3 seconds every time a lap count is mentioned or Laps left are mentioned.***CONTINUATION RULE
3. Take a shot when Rowdy's girlfriend calls Cole Trickle "Tom".

Got a drinking game you'd like to see posted? Want us to create a drinking game to something for you? Email us and let us know!

A special thanks to Runhigh for contribution of drinking and perfecting rules to the game. A normal thanks to Big Country for attempting to drink but failing miserably and thus forcing us to create the Continuation Rule so he would drink more.

Coming Soon: Football Drinking Rules!
