The Super Bowl, a colossal American sports event, attracts not only die-hard sports enthusiasts but also folks eager for the halftime spectacle (big shout-out to Usher) and the legion of foodies already prepping their snack spreads. If you've been living under a rock, Super Bowl LVIII is set for Sunday, February 11, 2024, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The San Francisco 49ers clash with the Kansas City Chiefs, vying for the revered Lombardi trophy and all the glory that comes with it.
Regardless of why you're tuning in this year, having the perfect drink is key. Whether it's beer, wine, a classic frozen margarita, or flavored seltzer, you'll need it for our drinking game to keep guests entertained, especially those less interested in football. The libations not only fuel the game but also complement the chicken wings, slow-cooker spinach and artichoke dip, chips, pizza, or other munchies you've got on hand.
The rules for our Super Bowl drinking game are straightforward: sip, finish your drink, or down a shot based on certain game scenarios. Here are our 20 rules, though you can always tailor the game to suit your party. Cheers — and remember to drink responsibly!
