“Buffalo”

Buffalo is a drinking game. That can get you fucked up in a matter of time. If you aren’t careful.
It’s easy! You just drink from your non-dominant hand. If you do drink from it. You have to kill what ever you are drinking.

Example: I’m right handed so I would drink with my left. If I were caught drinking with my right hand . You would yell “Buffalo” at me. Then I would have to shotgun the rest of my drink. If you get buffaloed and you are drinking with the correct hand. The buffaloer has to shotgun their drink.
