Give your keys to Lloyd Dobler, boxing fans, because it?s time to get rosy-cheeked and full-bladdered with another edition of the 24/7 Drinking Game. The Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez III version of HBO?s reality-series-slash-promotional-vehicle kicked off on Saturday night, and while the once universally acclaimed show now seems to draw as many boos as cheers, one thing remains true: 24/7 always goes down smoother with booze and ?Cheers!?
(For the record, I enjoyed this weekend?s premiere episode of 24/7 Pacquiao-Marquez, but based upon the comments made by boxing folks I follow on Twitter and the comments that those folks re-tweeted, I might just be in the minority.)
A quick statement of the obvious before we begin the drinking game: TSS does not advocate the consumption of alcoholic beverages by minors. So if you?re under 21, you can read along, but don?t play along. And don?t ask Editor Mike to purchase your liquor for you, because he?s a man of high moral character. (Unless you slip him a c-note, in which case he?s happy to become the older brother you never had.) (EM Note: In this economy, I?m susceptible to a mere ten spot lol?)
And with that, let?s get ready to stumble ? home drunk, with the 24/7 Pacquiao-Marquez Drinking Game:
Drink a glass of your own urine at the start of every episode because, hey, that?s just smart healthy living, right?
Drink a glass of raw quail eggs if the thought of urine consumption wasn?t quite enough to make you quit this drinking game.
Drink once anytime they show fight action from Pacquiao-Marquez I.
