Who’s ready to watch some Premier League?! Who’s ready to play a drinking game while watching the Premier League?! You are! (If you're looking for a little Premier League preview, look no further than here)
I introduce the 2018-19 Premier League Drinking game! Every now and again, when you want to spice up your Premier League viewing experience, you can play this absolutely lit drinking game. You can also play it every weekend or even for every game, there is no judgement here. Heck, you can even use it for LaLiga, Serie A or even your kid’s U-7 soccer match.
Here's the deal. If you’re in the United States, you’re waking up pretty early for the Premier League. If you’re in the U.K. matches are at a much more acceptable time to crack open a cerveza. But I know plenty of folks who hit pubs in the early morning to watch their beloved Premier League clubs. So - take this gem with you or just play it on your couch alone or with your friends. Maybe even make some mimosas or bloody mary's. Or even some World Cup cocktails if you're really looking to get after it and you miss this summer's action!
Here’s the breakdown of the rules:
FIRST:
Pick a team. This drinking game works for any match you are watching.
