Drunken Santa

This is an adult twist to the Secret Santa things that usually start up around this time. It takes a lot less thought and should wind up in a lot of fun. I find the risk involved with the regular SS is that I may 1) have no idea what to get my person and/or 2) wind up with a crap gift (a ton of candy) cuz my santa had no clue what to get me. So I came up with what I call Drunken Santa which has more of a definite payback while keeping the surprise factor. Ok so here's how the whole thing works.

In order to be involved you must like drinking, sorry to exclude the sobers, you may participate but you getting anything in return is unlikely. Ok, so at your Christmas party, I'm sure there will be at least one with just a bunch of friends, if you want to be involved you must bring something to drink. Mickey's work well or 60's of beer. I guess as long as you hit the $15-$20 dollar mark your good. You could go real fancy if you feel like it.
Then everybody stands with the drink they brought.
one by one you pick names out of a hat/basket/pot/bra cup whatever. Whomever's name you pick out of the hat, You're drinking the drink that they brought.

You're probably thinking 'Fuck that, I don't like a lot of liquors! I can only drink what I'm used to or else I'll be sick." As a lover of a variety of drinks I say " Tough nooggies!" I'm willing to risk having to drink Malibu rum or Fireball whiskey, but hey thats why they invented chasers. And after a few drinks I'm sure people will be willing to share their new gift. And isn't that really what the holidays are all about... the sharing.

So if you are a sober and you enjoy the giving aspect you're welcome to partake. However, it'd be rude not to take a little sample of your santa's drink. Keep that in mind.
Merry Holidays!


Let me know of any ways to improve this concept as this idea is still just a baby. I was thinking of maybe incorporating a stealing method where after everyone has picked you go in the opposite order and allow one switch per person. This may make the more nervous people feel safer in getting a drink they prefer, however it may also make them a target for the more sinister of partiers.
