Surviving Night Games the Right Way Katie Weimer wrote this “IT’S SATURDAY IN ATHENS!” In Athens, these are everyone’s favorite words to hear. Earlymorning computer checkups reveal these words splayed all over Facebook and Twitter, and they’re being yelled at you as you innocently walk down the street. It means tradition, football, hamburgers… oh yeah, and getting good ole’ Georgia drunk. The only thing that can make these words better is adding in “night” after Saturday. Waking up from a long Friday night out and having to go stand in 90+ degree weather, halfdrunk (from the night before obviously), half hung-over and chugging from a flask is no fun task. But night games? It’s as easy standing out there as it is to beat Florida Atlantic. Even though your skin won’t be boiling off your bones, there’s another hidden culprit, a double-edged sword if you will. While you may be able to flaunt your sexy half-red half-black Bulldogprint pants, wear your gameday dress and drink all day long, you’re still drinking all day long. All. Day. Long. Like, for real. So how does one avoid the night game alcohol poisoning that can so easily steal your dignity and ruin your Saturday? It’s a tricky business, but if you take a look at the schedule below, you can save yourself from the fate of that guy who’s passed out in the stands, the stadium lights shining cruelly into his half open eyes. 11:00 a.m - Wake up. Shake off that hangover by downing some bacon, an entire box of cereal (don’t bother with milk, just use the bacon grease) and a mimosa (one part orange juice, most parts champagne). 11:30 a.m. - Now that you’re feeling a little bit more like yourself and you’ve got some alcohol in you, it’s time to hydrate. Drink ALL the Powerade! (Maybe with some vodka mixed in) 12:30 p.m. - Time to shower so you can resemble a normallooking human being and throw on that red and black. Obviously with a beer in hand. That’s what the ledges in showers are for, right? 1:30 p.m. - Soak up some of that alcohol with a bread sponge and take some water shots. Your liver will take mercy upon you. 2:00 p.m. - Pull out that beer pong table and get ready for

some pong and flip cup! By this point you won’t be cognizant enough to realize you shouldn’t be drinking that water cup used for rinsing off balls from the ground. At least you’re hydrating! 4:00 p.m. - After a few riveting games of pong, head over to North Campus. Since you’ve been taking pretty good care of yourself, you’re nowhere near as drunk as these guys you don’t know who are offering you free food. With a hot dog in hand, nothing else matters. Bonus points if you can convince some rando that he should let you funnel some of his beers.

6:00 p.m. - Walking to the stadium. The most sacred of walks. Double fisting that hunch punch in one hand and straight vodka in the other, and chugging before you have to show your ID. And you know what, champ? You’re going to survive this game. You drank while taking care of yourself through that field of day drinking that is rougher than Mordor. Now go forth my drunken children and look lowly upon those passed out in the stands, content in your knowledge that you’re better than them.
