The funeral drinking game is
played in the
Midwest after loss of a family member.
It is considered to be the crown jewel of “Wisconsin Death
Trip Culture”.
It is an extremely life affirming ritual; and, completely depends of being especially attentive during the funeral.
If you
play this game even once you will experience the pagan origins of this ritual.
It’s played with beer, wine, cognac, or peppermint schnapps depending on Alcohol by volume acquired tolerance and budget.
Ideal foods eaten during
the game are hot wings, or microwaved bags of fast food burgers referred to as “soak ‘
em ups” for their function of slowing the flooding of alcohol into the system.
Drinking occurs whenever someone has observed the event that is proffered resulting almost immediately in group laughter.
Examples of gameplay that are illustrative; but not exhaustive include:
If you saw
cousin Tony rubbing his gums after he did a
line of cocaine in the coat room DRINK!
Drink if you got tired of the
kid in the front row dropping coins during the funeral.
Sip each time someone told you “you have my sympathy” during the receiving line.
Drink if you know who the funeral fuck couple will be!
If you are a member of the funeral fuck couple
chug!!!
We all get a turn to play and we all get to be the cause of the funeral drinking game.
It’s the circle of life.
