Get the Set the anchor mug.The single greatest drinking game in the history of drinking games. The Decathlon of drinking games.
REQUIRES: 2 teams of 5. 1 pitcher. Beer. 10 quarters.
OBJECT: To get fucked up.
GAMEPLAY:
1. Pitcher is filled with beer and placed in the middle of a table between the 2 teams of 5. Teams and players take turns shooting quarters into the pitcher. First team to 5 quarters in wins.
2. Either the winning team selects or the losing team designates an "Anchorman". The losing team must finish the entire pitcher of beer - each player gets one chug, then passes to the next player. The Anchorman goes last, and must finish whatever the 4 other players on his/her team do not drink.
3. "SEND IT BACK": Alternatively, the Anchorman can volunteer to go first - and if the Anchorman chugs the entire pitcher on his/her own, the pitcher is then refilled with beer and is sent back to the other team - who similarly must select/designate an Anchorman and finish the pitcher.
PLAY CONTINUES UNTIL: Everyone is too fucked up to continue or some hot girls arrive and want to play "I never"
Anchorman is the decathlon of drinking games: The game combines quarters skill, chugging ability, tolerance and stamina, and general ballsiness all in one.
Anchorman was the preferred drinking game at Duke University in the early-to-mid 1990's.

Millenial: OK we'll drink every time Champ and Brick....
Gen Xer: Forget it, I'll just play by myself - got any Natty Light?
Millenial: Is that a new sour IPA?
(Gen Xer proceeds to kick the Millenial's ass, ties him up with his braided leather belt, then puts on Dave Matthews to chill out...)

Get the Anchorman (the drinking game) mug.complaining vociferously about a wrong being done to you while casually committing said wrong yourself with no awareness
After the Tucson shooting by Jared Loughner, Sarah Palin complained loudly about the issue being politicized (as her violent rhetoric was condemned by many after it occurred) while simultaneously referring to Loughner as left-leaning. By doing this she performed an Anchorage steamer.

Get the Anchorage steamer mug.A large, heavy object dropped from a ship to prevent it from floating away. However, using anchors in the way they are intended to be used is just plain boring. Anchors are much more entertaining if they are dropped from the sky onto the head of someone you hate or generally dislike. In this sense, anchors are closely related to anvils and 16-ton weights. Though less common than its relatives, the anchor is favored by sadists for its broad, dull blade, which creates a spectacle that is generally much more gory than its broad-bottomed alternatives, which are known for creating simple splats or accordion effects.
Edgar hated John Doe. Edgar hated John Doe so much that dropping an anvil or weight on his head simply wouldn't suffice. So, Edgar dropped an anchor on John Doe. As a result, John Doe was splattered AND cleaved messily in half.
