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.
I was identified as a member of the fuck couple when we
played grandads funeral drinking
game and I had to
chug. HE WOUODN’T HAVE HAD IT ANY OTHER WAY!!!!!
