Watching the Eurovision will be far more entertaining with this Eurovision drinking game

Euro (blurred) vision.

Don’t try and tell us you didn’t remember that Eurovision 2016 gets underway tonight; if you’re anything like us you’ve had the date marked in the calendar for months.

Part of the appeal of the Eurovision, of course, is the whole circus that surrounds the actual songs themselves and a number of those aspects are highlighted in a drinking game sent our way by a bunch of University of Limerick students who should be studying for exams.

Instead, their procrastination has led to a highly entertaining drinking game that will spice up anyone’s Eurovision experience.

If you are to give it a go while watching Nicky Byrne and the rest of the contestants, make sure to drink responsibly while doing so.

Eurovision Drinking Game (AKA Euro Shtate Go Home!):

Rules:

Every time wind machine is used – 1 drink

Every time the word love or heart is used – 1 drink

When a song changes language – 1 drink

When a song changes key – 1 drink

Anytime a country not in Europe appears – 1 drink

A song that can be viewed as sexual harassment – 1 drink

When someone take off an item of clothing – 1 drink

When Pietra (one of the presenters) is a bitch to someone – 1 drink

When a sexy woman passionately plays a violin – 2 drinks

If Ireland get through – Down in one
