The Best Drinking Game Movies
#DrinkResponsibly (Or Not!)
There should be nothing simple about a drinking game. They need to be silly, have variety and these movies are perfect for that. They’re the best alternative to a rainy Saturday night, and this list will range from the ‘one schooner wonder’ to the more advanced for the pros. Get ready to swap the popcorn for shot or two (or three, or four... or more)!

The move sparked Coles to agree to do the same less than two hours later and they're now set to have the affect in place by July 1.
