Kurt’s Blog: The Official Grammys Drinking Game

So the Grammys are on Monday night…which should be most excellent. I know my 4-year old daughter is very excited that Taylor Swift is opening the show (she learned that she’s a Swifty the other day).

What makes an award show even better? The drink!

I’m off next week, so I thought I’d post this today…plus, this allows you time over the weekend to stock up…

Just Take a Drink Whenever These Happen

Taylor Swift makes this face.

Taylor face

She’s always in shock…here’s proof…

Drink anytime Adam Levine says something baffling…or profound…or something he thinks is profound…but is just really gibberish.

Drink anytime Adele sings with her hands. Adele has Christina Aguilera disease…she sings with her hands when she’s attempting to reach a high note (or emphasize a point).

singing with hands

Drink anytime someone mentions Kanye…drink the whole thing if they use Kanye & “Genius” in the same sentence.

Drink everytime you see a nipple. Oh, may the boobs..I mean booze…be plentiful Monday night!
