The Grey’s Anatomy Drinking Game You’ve Been Waiting 12 Seasons For

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Colgate chapter.

As any true Grey’s Anatomy knows, this show is an absolute emotional rollercoaster. Shonda has made us laugh, made us be completely grossed out, and made us sob like we’ve never sobbed before. And we love (hate) her for it.

Because of all the emotional trauma that Shonda puts us through, it’s sometimes very necessary for us to unwind. And in the spirit of Meredith Grey, what better way to unwind than tequila? Or wine, or beer, etc. So fill up your glass, turn on Grey’s Anatomy (you pick the season), and prepare for a whole new breed of drinking game.
