As yesterday was the season opener of “Man Vs. Wild,” Matt found a drinking game to complement the show. Now technically, per the rules, we would have been completely wasted, but because we had a BBQ party and feasted on so much food, most of us had to stop after 3 beers…. people, the show is only an hour long!!!! Anyhow it was a great deal of fun so I decided to post it for those of you interested- if you saw last nights episode, you will see that rule number one was a pretty long one, a great way to start it off.

(You can tell this game was made up by a couple of Brits, using words like “pint” for “cup”, “fingers” for “sip” and “centre” for center.”

Side Note- we didn’t try the whole “dirty pint” thing- substituted it with 3 sips.)

1. When Bear jumps out of a plane or helicopter all players must start consuming their beverage until he touches down, or until they finish their drink.
2. Whenever Bear eats something, If its alive all players must consume 3 fingers of their beverage. If the animal is dead players must add 3 fingers of their beverage to a ‘dirty pint’ glass in centre of the room.(fruit and veg count as dead)
3. When Bear drinks anything (hoping its clean water) all players must consume 3 fingers of their drink.
4. When Bear participates in any form of extreme exercise (e.g. rock climbing, swimming etc.) all participants must consume their beverage until he or their beverage finishes.
5. Whenever Bear talks about people in extreme situations, If the outcome is they survived all players must consume 2 fingers of their beverage. If the outcome is they died all players must consume 3 fingers of their beverage.
6. When Bear lights a fire all players must consume 3 fingers of the drink belonging to the player to their left.
7. Whenever Bear takes off any item of clothing , all players must consume the same number of fingers as of clothes he has taken off - i.e If Bear takes off only his shirt only drink 1 finger, shirt and trousers = 2 fingers ………. (pairs count as 1)
8. Whenever Bear complains about his surroundings all players must put 2 fingers of their beverage into the ‘dirty pint’.
9. Whenever Bear reaches a stream or river all players must consume 2 fingers from the ‘dirty pint’ (going first name alphabetically). – if there is no drink left in the dirty pint count yourself lucky!
10. Whenever Bear goes for high ground ( must be a gradient of more than 45 degrees ), all players must attempt to find high ground within the room. The player lowest after 10 seconds must consume the dirty pint.
