The weekend’s almost here, and for the U.S. it’s the Fourth of July weekend.
So, in honour of that and to help your weekend get off to a flier let me introduce the Social Media Drinking Game. It’s ideal for long drunken sessions or short thirst quenchers – or even both at once.
And if you’re not celebrating Independence Day this weekend – join in the fun anyway!
The rules are simple – just follow the instructions below. And remember to leave the car keys at home!
- If Ari Herzog changes his mind on his Twitter use, take a shot of tequila. Potential for drunkenness!
- If you hear the phrase “echo chamber”, have a full glass of beer. You may hear this a lot and being drunk and comatose will help you get by.
- Every time you hear Perry Belcher is a criminal, one finger of rye. Again, this could get messy.
- If you’re dissed by Amanda Chapel… actually, you get nothing. This isn’t a challenge at all.
- Every time Mashable does a Twitter story, have a shot of chilled vodka. Be prepared to get very drunk.
- If Brian Solis writes a blog post less than 1,000 words, have some champagne. This deserves a special drink.
- For every Twitter profile that has “guru”, “ninja”, “jedi”, “expert” or “master” in it, have a Jack Daniel’s and coke. The soft drink might just keep you going longer.
- If someone is speaking at the equivalent of a conference a month on the same topic to the same audience, have a single malt Scotch.
Okay, these are just some to get you started. What others would you add to the cocktail?
Note – this is just a bit of fun to lead into the weekend; don’t take it too seriously. The majority of people on here I respect immensely. Happy Fourth of July!

Hysterical. Okay, I've never done this– EVER — in the history of the Katnip Awards, but I just added you in. Check it out.

Very funny and creative. If I was following directions, I couldn't write this and you may not be able to read it. Question: did you start the game before or after writing this? LOL
Haha, LOVE IT! Thanks for helpin' us celebrate (in a creative way, at that), Danny.
Have a great weekend!
This is awesome! I'm already drunk and I just started playing. The Thesis Theme for WordPress is a great PREMIUM WordPress Theme. I highly recommend buying it once you're drunk. Click my links, though. : )
Have a shot of sambuca every time you receive an auto DM. Hic.
This is dangerous. heh
Of course, Mr Scoble – how'd I forget?
And a special description to boot, as well? Ha, awesome – thanks Kat!
But of course – wouldn't be fair otherwise! And as you know, I do love Thesis as well 0 it is a great theme
Cheers!
Anytime you get followed by a porn spammer, drink a sex on the beach as you block them
I'm adding a new objective to my “Social Networking Strategic Plan”: be included in Danny Brown's drinking game by 7/4/2010
Twitter: DavidSpinks
haha looks like I'm going to be HAMMERED this weekend.
Heres one: Every time Guy posts a link to Alltop…eh you better not drink anything for that…we don't want to have anyone end up in the hospital.
Twitter: igobydoc
LOL Danny this is awesome… I just wish I would have seen it earlier today so I could have played. (how did I miss this?)
Here is on for ya: Every time you open a new follower profile and they tell you how you can get 10,000 followers in 5 days, especially when they have 14 followers, you should take a nip of some Peppermint Schnapps. Well, maybe not Schnapps for me as I had a bad episode with that many years ago… so let's just stick with a nice ice cold beer!
Love how Brogan pimped Thesis here too! I guess two gingers of beer are in order… whatever the heck you mean by that! LOL
Doc

How about these:
Every time you offhandedly mention a subject or a type of product on Twitter and are immediately followed by at least five “experts” in said subject or vendors of said product, drink a glass of non-alcoholic wine (since it's about as effective as most, if not all, of those new followers are!).
Every time you “@” an airline (other than @SouthwestAir) about a problem and expect a response, drink an airplane bottle of Jagermeister … but don't hold your breath afterward.
When @MikePilarz, @AllanSchoenberg, @ArikHanson, @SteveSchoon, @AmyMengel or @StephStad mentions a microbrew, drink a bottle of it.
(I salute you, guys and gals!)
Three excellent suggestions, Lindsay (and I can definitely attest to the last one!).

Are we really that bad? (she said while sipping a Dixie Voodoo Blackened Lager)…
No, no … it was meant as a shout-out … a compliment on your impeccable taste! I love the “sophisticated beer” talk!
