The Essential Bachelor Drinking Game

Playing this drinking game is your first step in becoming a Wine Mom.Note: While I suggest that it mean taking a sip or two, "drink" can refer to the ingestion of any amount of liquid (whether alcoholic or not) or solid (I have used ice cream #emotions).

1. Kiss = drink.
   • Extra challenge: Keep drinking for as long as the kissing occurs.
2. They drink, you drink.
   • This show seems to have an unlimited alcohol budget. These people are always drinking. Good luck.
   • Extra challenge: drink what they're drinking. Go stock up on wine.
   • Bonus: Blatant inebriation = 5 drinks (to catch up of course). Lace in Episode 1, I'm lookin' at you.
3. Anything bleeped/blurred out = drink.
   • This encompasses both profanities (whether verbal or gestural) and wardrobe malfunctions (whether intentional or not).
4. "She's not even pretty" or some variation = 2 drinks.
   • This is an inevitable result of taking a bunch of girls and pitting them against each other #patriarchy.
5. "True love" = drink.
   • One of the requirements for being selected as a contestant on The Bachelor is the ability to use this phrase when you have nothing else to say.
6. Girl power! = drink.
   • Every so often 2 or more girls will join together to empower a fellow woman and praise her response or action. There is often tears and/or wine. This also includes groups of girls shit-talking men.
7. Tears = drink (at your own discretion).
   • There are a lot of tears. Be careful.
   • Extra challenge: Interesting in chugging? Have a lot of drinking you want to accomplish? This montage of crying single women is for you!
8. (Collective) shrieking = drink.
   • These women are so easily excited it's incredible. And what better way to express any form of positive emotion than unintentionally-synchronized widespread high-pitched noises!
9. Ugly outfit = drink.
   • Some of the ugliest outfits I've ever seen have come from this season of The Bachelor. I know they have a lot to think about when they're on this show (the three B's: Ben, booze, bitchez) but that doesn't excuse blindness. Who gave them fashion police immunity?
10. Helicopter = drink.
    • This is the preferred form of transportation in The Bachelor universe. Helicopters are often accompanied by (collective) shrieking.

Be careful, have fun, and may "true love" prevail.P.S. To anyone that was also rooting for Lace–I feel you </3.Images via, via, via, and via.
