The Social Media Drinking Game

IMG_25581The 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 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.
  • 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!

    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

    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!). :)
