If we win? Cheap beer.
If we lose? Antifreeze.
October 16th, 2009 at 4:11 PM ^
In this cold weather, I kind of view all the drinks as antifreeze.
October 16th, 2009 at 2:32 PM ^
Take your Schlitz 40oz, drink it down to the beginning of the label and fill the rest with Orange Juice. Repeat as necessary.
October 16th, 2009 at 2:35 PM ^
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.
October 16th, 2009 at 2:36 PM ^
there's a cocktail named The Hornet.
Since its a 9AM kickoff out here, I'll probably just have coffee.
October 16th, 2009 at 2:39 PM ^
does not sound like a good drink.
period.
October 16th, 2009 at 2:43 PM ^
Peppermint Schnapps and Sloe Gin and cola. Sounds like it was invented at a sorority on move-out day.
October 16th, 2009 at 2:41 PM ^
Mmm... Schmitts Gay
October 16th, 2009 at 2:42 PM ^
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.
October 16th, 2009 at 2:46 PM ^
stole Tivo from Mt Olympus. So that mortals could sip Chardonney and Caberet, safe in the knowlege that the game was waiting for them at home.
October 16th, 2009 at 3:25 PM ^
If you live in Sonoma--there is NO fail. Holy geebus I'd never watch another sporting even for the rest of my life if I could afford to live in the North Bay.
October 16th, 2009 at 3:30 PM ^
I'm thinking that if you lived in the North Bay, you'd be a die-hard Raiders fan, all decked-out in the silver and black, with a patch over one eye.
October 16th, 2009 at 3:34 PM ^
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!
October 16th, 2009 at 3:55 PM ^
I live in the city. So I have to drive up there.
It's nice up there, but believe me, I'd rather drive up after watching the game.
October 16th, 2009 at 3:00 PM ^
As always. The champagne of beers.
And its $12.00 for a case in longneck bottles.
October 16th, 2009 at 3:00 PM ^
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.
October 16th, 2009 at 10:51 PM ^
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.
October 16th, 2009 at 3:02 PM ^
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.
October 16th, 2009 at 10:48 PM ^
I'm a Stella Artois man, myself, or even Bells Oberon. I introduced my father-in-law and mother-in-law to Oberon last weekend. New converts.
October 16th, 2009 at 3:05 PM ^
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.
October 16th, 2009 at 3:13 PM ^
Pretty plain here but I love starting off with some Beefeater Gin and Tonic and then just regular ol' Miller Lite...
October 16th, 2009 at 3:18 PM ^
on the rocks
October 16th, 2009 at 3:17 PM ^
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.
October 16th, 2009 at 4:09 PM ^
I don't need booze, I just want it! Football and beer just go together so well!
October 16th, 2009 at 3:23 PM ^
I'm saving that for the bonfire Saturday night at my girlfriend's sister's house in the Napoleon, MI countryside.
October 16th, 2009 at 3:41 PM ^
so I will be drinking Pepsi. If I am supposed to drink according to opponent, maybe I'll make it Meijer brand cola.
October 16th, 2009 at 4:14 PM ^
I imagine I'll be freezing before, during, and after the game, I hear the hot chocolate calling my name already.
October 16th, 2009 at 4:17 PM ^
it'll getcha drunk!!!
October 16th, 2009 at 5:40 PM ^
Don't let the dwarf fool you. It's a pretty good Belgian beer.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:34 PM ^
Is La Chouffe good? I'm a big fan of Belgians, but have yet to get in on La Chouffe. What's comparable?
October 16th, 2009 at 6:52 PM ^
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.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:52 PM ^
Interesting, thanks. I'm a fan of darker, but I'll have to give it a shot sometime soon.
October 17th, 2009 at 12:14 AM ^
Duvel.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:41 PM ^
Good choice. I'm also very fond of Tripel Karmeliet.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:53 PM ^
It is the drink of choice for Tron, the richest man in the world. I only emulate the best, even when The Blue take on a crappy opponent.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:22 PM ^
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.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:35 PM ^
Unless I finish them all tonight, which probably won't happen, I'll be drinking Grolsch and vodka.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:46 PM ^
For native Germans and others who care, I know it's the wrong glassware... but I haven't gotten around to looking for a Michigan Maßkrug yet. :)
October 16th, 2009 at 7:58 PM ^
is always right.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:10 PM ^
has been the standard for in-stadium flaskage this season. Thank you, Costco
October 16th, 2009 at 10:57 PM ^
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.
October 17th, 2009 at 3:28 AM ^
and possibly Strongbow, if there's any left.
October 17th, 2009 at 8:50 AM ^
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.
