Ah, the Fourth of July, a day when patriotic college students across America celebrate our nation’s independence by grilling enough food to feed a small country and consuming kegs of beer in their backyards.

The Founding Fathers, who fought the oppression of the tyrant King George to preserve our rights to inebriation, would be so proud.

And so, to honor them, take some time out this upcoming July 4th to play Flag Race, a drinking game that combines patriotism with alcoholism in one foul swoop.

What You Need to Play

1. Two handmade, faux American flags with grooves filled to the brim with red and blue Jungle Juice
2. Two teams of like-minded, patriotic individuals capable of handling a straw with ease
3. A strong liver and/or a place to crash when you inevitably pass out

After you’ve gathered the necessary materials, the real fun can begin. The first team to drink all the alcohol freedom juice contained within their flag wins.

That’s it; it’s that simple.

God bless America.
