March Madness and alcohol basically go hand in hand. Maybe you got lucky and actually have teams left in the Final Four of your bracket, or maybe your bracket didn’t have a chance after week one. Maybe you literally don’t know anything about college basketball, but your friends promised great snacks at their viewing party. Wherever you fall, you will want a drink this Saturday. Grab a beer or a bottle of tequila, or get fancy with some basketball-themed drinks, and get ready to get tipsy. We present to you: the Final Four drinking game of your dreams.

Possibly the only thing that college kids love to rally around more than March Madness is alcohol. So let’s all raise our red solo cups to a night filled with blood, sweat and tears (on the court) and lots of bracket-checking at your viewing party. Cheers.
