The Ultimate Big Brother Drinking Game

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Northwestern chapter and does not reflect the views of Spoon University.

Big Brother is back for the summer with the magnificent Julie Chen and a houseful of new – and some old – contestants competing to win $500,000. #BB18 is proving to be just as twist- and drama-filled as usual, with more alliances than I can count on one hand.

Airing 3 nights a week, Big Brother requires quite the time commitment and you might as well keep it interesting with – what else – alcohol. Without school during the week, the summer is the perfect time to grab your friends and get wasted on a Sunday, Wednesday and/or Thursday night to Big Brother.

  • Someone actually goes in the pool
  • An alliance turns on one of their own
  • A picture on the memory wall fades to grey – an Irish funeral of sorts

Take a shot when:

  • A competition starts
  • Someone cries
  • A new alliance is formed

Finish your drink if:

  • A new showmance commences
  • You incorrectly guessed who would win a competition
  • A floater gets their game together and finally joins an alliance

Be safe, drink up, then go creep on the houseguests with the live feeds.
