Poker is never a boring game. You would think that the continual shuffling of cards, folding, and winning or losing money would get boring, but when you put together a house game full of friends, something interesting is always bound to happen. If not, well I hate to break it to you, but your friends suck. I had a poker game recently at a friend’s place, where the premise of the night was to finish off all of their recent party leftovers–food and booze–play poker and dabble with the new Guitar Hero game. After some turkey and PBRs we were all set to start our game of Texas Hold Em. I lost my first twenty quickly and had to re-buy into the cash game, and was getting a bit bored with the situation until somebody heroically came up with a drinking game to go along with our game of cards. The rules to the game were simple–whoever makes the best five card hand out of anybody who folds at any time in the hand has to take a shot.  Read 

This game works best with at least ten people, but it can easily be adapted to any amount of people at your Super Bowl party. First, split the crowd into two sides, one group getting the Pittsburgh Steelers and the other group getting the Arizona Cardinals. This can best be done by putting team names in a hat and having everybody draw from that. Of course if your party is split 50/50 on which teams they’re rooting for, you could just go with that. Now that teams are picked, all of the drinking that ensues from now on will be done as teams.  Read 

This shot, once again, was the doing of the deadly combination of drinking with Cory and my little brother Kris. We all decided to head to our closest local bar while we were all home for the holidays, and it just so happens the closest bar is a place called Bergie’s, which is where Kris and I would bus tables at during high school on weekend nights. Amazingly, since then, we had never gone in there together to grab a drink even though we are good friends with the owners and a bartender. That had to change.  Read 

As I mentioned earlier in my Beer Pong with 151 Land Mines post, the AFOV crew is out in Las Vegas for New Years and the World Series of Beer Pong IV. We are taking our drinking exploits to the greatest beer pong tournament ever created, with most of the best players in the world all gathering at the Flamingo Hotel & Casino. This event has turned into to a yearly tradition for us, as we have played in the tourney each of the last two years, so all month of December has been filled with game after game of beer pong so we can show a little pride with a good showing. Cory and I will be playing as team Afternoon Delight, with the primary goal of making the final day of this tournament.  Read 

This shot began with a bet on Christmas Day. My little brother was playing an ESPN game where you had to pick prop bets during the NBA Christmas Day games. He asked me for advice on a bet–which team in the Dallas at Portland game would score ten points first? I told him to pick Portland because they’ve been playing well and they’re at home. He then blatantly ignored my advice and picked Dallas. This made me a little mad, so I proposed a bet. I would pick Portland and he could have Dallas. Whoever’s team gets ten points first can pick any alcoholic concoction from the liquor cabinet for the other person to take. Dallas scored the first bucket, and Kris talked a little crap… and then Portland scored the next ten straight and I won the bet.  Read 

We all know the game of beer pong.  If you have been to party any time within the last couple of years, you are bound to have played.  Many types of rules go, which all essentially have the goal of making people drink quickly.  In the spirit of our 151 Days Of Christmas, and as an excuse for me not taking any 151 shots while I have been sick these last two weeks, I am introducing a new variation of drinking involving the game of beer pong.  Try including ‘land mines’ in your game.  By this I mean you should fill one of the 6 or 10 cups on each side with a shot of Bacardi 151–or any other hard stuff.  Of course, to make this work, you will have to fill the cup with a healthy pour of alcohol to keep your cup from falling over during play.  Read 

All through December, the AFOV guys will be doing shots and cocktails with Bacardi® 151 in them, in order to celebrate the holidays properly. Come join in the fun, try our shots, or make up some of your own!  Read 

This drink was my first attempt at one of our Halloween Drink Ideas shots we put together before the holidays. It was the day after Halloween, a Saturday, and we were still going strong during one of the best party weekends of the year in nearly every town. I went by the store that afternoon and picked up a six-pack of pumpkin ale—all they had was the Harvest Moon brand—and a fresh bottle of Bacardi 151. Pregaming this day consisted of me unsuccessfully trying to convince everybody to take the Pumpkin Spit shot with me. When that didn’t work, I tried to get people to do 151 shots with me while I took my new shot. That didn’t work either. I understand it was the end of a long party weekend and everybody was a little roughed up by that point, but come on, free 151.. never say no that.. please.  Read
