For those of you not familiar with a drinking game, think of it like Bingo except that you're not trying to complete a row, you're trying kill all of your brain cells. During your day when any of the following occurs, drink the amount specified. And please, if you must drink around technology, do so responsibly. Such as disabling the texting feature of your phone

Take a sip

Take a sip

* You ever need to edit the registry.

Take a sip

Take a drink

Take a sip
