Ohhh — Thanksgiving. How we love you! And how we love the alcohol that is hopefully available — and flowing quite nicely — on this family-filled day. Whether you are drinking an ice cold beer, an oaky red wine, or something much harder and on the rocks — we thought we'd help you add a little spice to your Turkey Day with a drinking game the whole (over 21) family can play.
It's really quite simple. Any time one of the things listed below is said — everyone must take a drink.
Any time YOU say any of them out loud (or hell — if you just think them in your head!), then you must take two drinks (while everyone else takes their one).
Any time a child cries during the course of the meal, each participant must take three drinks. Just, please, make sure there is at least one responsible, sober adult to take care of said crying child.

Oh — and have a very, very Happy Thanksgiving!!
