2011 Dirty Dangle Trade Deadline Drinking Game!

Whether you're calling in sick for work today or feel like putting a little something in your coffee at the desk, join us for the Dirty Dangle 2011 Trade Deadline Drinking Game. Due to the success of the 2011 All Star Fantasy Draft Drinking Game, we've added Trade Deadline Day as another event in which to throw some brewskis back. From our university days, we know that beer and pancakes go together quite well, but we'll provide you with some other drink options to get you through the day.

Irish Coffee: A morning staple - not only does it wake you up, it gets you feeling nice and buzzed. You can do Baileys and coffee as well - still delicious, same effect.

Screwdriver: Get your Vitamin C. Orange juice and vodka, or if you're feeling classy, champagne it up and make a Mimosa.

Wine and Coke: Pour some red wine in a Coke can - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia-style. Wine in a can is a good disguise - until your lips and teeth get stained. Do 1/2 Coke and 1/2 Red Wine for a tasty drink known as Catemba in South Africa.

If you do partake in this game, drink responsibly, don't be an idiot. Also, if you drive a bus or work with kids, it might be best to make a tally throughout the day and catch up after work with friends at a bar.
