Drink of Choice for Delaware State Game

Submitted by Jim Harbaugh S… on

What will you mgoboarders be drinking during the game?

I like my drink quality to be representative of the quality of Michigan's opponent.

That being said I'll be drinking Mad Dog and Schlitz, how 'bout you?

As is standard practice in the driveway I call home on Saturday mornings in the fall, there will be a keg of guiness light (aka keystone because it's the cheapest that campus corner offers)

HOW we drink it is a different matter entirely. This weekend it may just be sitting on the curb doing nothing, for a game of greater magnitude 60 yr old fathers doing funnels and shotgunning PBR isn't at all out of the question.

it's my sister's birthday, and way back when I agreed to go wine tasting with her in Sonoma not knowing that she would want us to start doing it at 10am pacific time.

So I'll be drinking some of the finest wines in the country and missing the game entirely, which is a fail on both counts if we're trying to follow the original poster's suggestions.

Are East Bay, man. North Bay is where all the Berkeley grads hang out.

Shit, did I just say "Berkeley grads?"--that's an oxymoron if ever there was one!

Probably ease my way out of the inevitable hangover from tonight by drinking a few bloody marys (sp?)and see where the football gods take me from there.

I drink Bloody Marys all the time. A few years back on a trip to Canada, I was introduced to Bloody Caesars. Same drink, but with clamato juice instead of tomato juice (or tomato juice with added clam juice). The glass is rimmed with celery salt.

It's a nice change-up from the Bloody Mary. Also just as effective for hang-overs when you need some of the hair of that dog.

I don't like drinking to the level of my opponents. Mostly because I hate shitty beer.

That being said, tomorrow's drink of choice will likely be Sam Adams Octoberfest.

so I do believe hot apple cider and Capt. Morgan. If I find some 100 proof CM that's where I'm headed, but the idea of drinking down to the quality of the game is also an option for those that like to 'level' the playing field.

Sobriety for a 1-AA team.

If you need booze when we're up by 28 at half, then you probably have a drinking problem.

However, if I'm on my way to darkness at halftime, then the score probably isn't 28-0 and Michigan fans nationwide are getting nervous.

I've enjoyed La Chouffe and Chouffe, both of which are a pale ales. La Chouffe is spiced (coriander), but not overpowering. Low alcohol taste with a high alcohol content (~8%). It's carbonated, as are a lot of the Belgians that I've seen. I'm not great at comparisons, but I think it's comparable to Duvel.

It's basically a very drinkable beer, ime, without any flavors that will bowl you over. Not that that's a bad thing, but I like to just sit back and enjoy a beer while watching the game without thinking too much about it. I'm looking to try McChouffe, which is a darker ale, but I haven't been able to find it yet.

some Guinness. Might save the Guiness for a few car bombs though, so if I go the car bomb route I'll probably sip on some dos equis in preparation for my trip to Mexico in a couple weeks.

Has to be the Snake Bite, (there are a million shooters called a "Snake Bite" - ours was specific).

Waaaaay back in 1987 (or so) UM played Long Beach State, (or some other sacrificial lamb). Some friends and I carried bota bags filled with a wicked concoction of Jack Daniel's and Rose's Lime Juice (mixed 50/50). Each time UM scored, we'd tip back for 7 seconds.

By half-time, the score was 35-0, UM. The bags were half-empty, and we'd forgotten we were at the game.

Good times.

punch flavored Faygo mixed with malt liquor!* The mix spilled on his pillow/bed. Our room smelled of malt liquor for a few weeks as my roomie didn't exactly enjoy doing his laundry. Ah, the memories of college.

*of course I am joking about drinking it but the story is true.
