Shark Week drinking games have been a thing since Shark Week's premiere week in 1987, and each year they get heavier, more intense, and harder to top. How else is one supposed to get through an entire week of gore, sharks, and more gore without a little tipple here and there? I mean, there are only so many horrifying shark-related gouges, gashes and bite marks we can look at before wanting to chug a bottle of whatever is nearest while crying and clutching our limbs. Hence Shark Week drinking games.
Although the Bro Bible's classic Shark Week drinking game is, of course, reigning king of getting us all Shark Week Shwasted, I'm here to propose some updates, bringing Shark Week drinking to a new high in 2013. If you barely survived the last two Shark Weeks, gird your liver because this just got intense. This drinking game is involved, multi-faceted, and just might change your life, so get your ingredients ready and let's get started. Play in a safe place, don't wear white, and you better hide yo fish, hide yo wife, 'cause we're gettin' Shark Week Shwasted up in here.
