Get ready to raise your glasses! Eurovision 2025 is approaching, and that means it’s time to brush up on your drinking game strategies. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-time player, this guide will equip you with the rules to make your Eurovision viewing experience even more…memorable.
The Basics
Before diving into the specific triggers, a few ground rules are essential:
* **Pace Yourself:** This is a marathon, not a sprint. Know your limits and drink responsibly. Water and snacks are your friends. * **Designated Drink:** Choose your poison (beer, wine, cocktails, or even non-alcoholic options). Consistency is key. * **Honesty is Key:** No cheating! Self-reporting is crucial for the game’s integrity. * **Have Fun!** Eurovision is all about spectacle and silliness. Embrace the chaos and enjoy the show.
The Drinking Game Rules
Here’s where the real fun begins. Take a sip when:
* **National Flag Appearance:** Any flag appears on stage, in the background, or on the performers themselves. * **Key Change:** The song dramatically shifts to a higher key. * **Wind Machine Alert:** The wind machine makes an appearance. If it’s blowing someone’s wig off, double the sips! * **Awkward On-Screen Chat:** A cringeworthy or forced conversation during the interval. * **”Douze Points!”** When a country gives another country the maximum score of 12 points. * **Technical Difficulties:** A microphone cuts out, a prop malfunctions, or any other technical glitch occurs. * **The Presenter Stumbles:** When a presenter misspeaks, mispronounces a name, or makes an obvious blunder. * **Costume Change:** A performer undergoes a visible costume change on stage.
Take a bigger gulp (or a shot, if you’re brave) when:
* **Pyrotechnics Overload:** Excessive use of fireworks, smoke machines, or other pyrotechnics. * **Political Statement:** An act makes a clear political statement (controversial, we know, but potentially hilarious). * **Nil Points:** A country receives zero points from the public or the jury. * **Someone Falls Over:** If a performer takes a tumble on stage (hopefully without injury). * **A Song is Sung in a Language Other Than English:** If a song is prediminantly not in English.
Optional Rules for Advanced Players
Want to crank up the difficulty? Try these advanced rules:
* **Specific Country Triggers:** Assign a country to each player. If *your* country meets any of the “sip” or “gulp” triggers, you drink double. * **Repeat Offender Rule:** If a particular act uses a specific prop or trope multiple times, the drinking penalties increase with each instance. * **Lyric Bingo:** Create bingo cards with common Eurovision phrases (e.g., “Fire,” “Heart,” “Forever”). Mark off each phrase as you hear it, and the first to bingo wins… and everyone else drinks!
Remember to adapt these rules to your group’s preferences and tolerance levels. The most important thing is to have a safe and enjoyable Eurovision night!
