Tonight, skip getting dressed up, don’t put on any make up. Avoid loud music and shrieking drunk girls. Grab a few friends and gather around the TV for a night of Chopped and casual drinking.

Companionship, a competitive cooking show, and alcohol: what more could you ask for?

The Rules of the Game:

You’ll need a cup (probably a solo cup, let’s be real) full of wine, beer or a mixed drink. It is important to have more of whatever you’re using on hand if (and probably when) you finish your drink.  You will also need hard alcohol for shots.

Okay here we go…

Take a sip if:
