'Tis the season, and this weekend will no doubt bring still more format conversions of the all-holiday nature. Knowing that such activity inspires the inevitable drinking games, All The Excess! has suggestions to help you avoid totally immobilizing yourself. Our drinking game has more restrictive criteria each day to lessen any shame spiral of the alcoholic kind.Through Friday, November 20: Consume one shot each time you hear of a station which switches to the all-Santa sound.
Saturday, November 21: One shot for every all-holiday station whose call letters begin with "W."
Sunday, November 22: One shot for every all-holiday station beginning with "K."
Monday, November 23: One shot for every all-holiday station beginning with KA-KL or WA-WL.
Tuesday, November 24: One shot for every market that has multiple all-holiday stations.
Wednesday, November 25 through Friday, December 18: Consume one shot only when the song "Holly Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives is heard. (Bonus shot for the first time each day that "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" by Elmo and Patsy is heard. And a double shot if a station dares to play the Barking Dogs' "Jingle Bells.")
Saturday, December 19 and on: You're on your own.
We think the All The Excess! All-Holiday Format Drinking Game rules will insure a lasting buzz throughout the holiday season yet minimizes bender danger.
