It’s hot. People won’t shut up about it. We’re not quite sure why you people are cheering for the stupid hot to continue (we’re looking at you, @CBS11Larry). Rather than get annoyed, here at City of Ate we think it’s about damned time we made this shitty streak of unthunderstorms into a drinking game. There. Now everyone’s happy. Here’s the general concept: At any point in your day, if you hear people talking about the weather, you drink. You hear someone say, “Ugh! I’m soooo sweaty!” Drink. More rules (including what to do when you see a seven-day forecast photo) after the jump.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there. “It’s 106! When’s it gonna rain???” Drink twice. Anything involving how someone’s pets or kids are reacting to this weather gets two drinks. “I can’t even run the dog outside anymore!” “It’s so hot, that playground slide almost burned Pepsi’s onesie off!” And finally… If you should happen upon a photo of a seven-day forecast or a car thermometer posted by a friend on Facebook or Twitter, it’s time to chug. When it’s this hot (drink), it’s important to stay hydrated! So choose booze, lemonade or water — just make sure your dad isn’t your designated because his nonstop weathering could get you water hammered. Follow City of Ate on Twitter: @cityofate.
Go out there (if you’re not elderly or a tiny baby or a dog or a cat) and enjoy yourself a good game or two of Drought Drunk this afternoon.
