Super Bowl 53 Drinking Game - Los Angeles Rams vs. New England Patriots
The population of the United States was 327.1 million as of 2016. The population of Massachusetts was 6.8 million. Factor in 6.1 million salty folks in Missouri and a S.W.A.G. 5% bandwagon rate, and only about 9% of the population will be cheering for the Patriots to win their sixth Super Bowl in 17 years. This means the other 91% of us will need an adult beverage or ten to make it through the New England victory I’m expecting or to celebrate the Rams upset I wish I believed in.
So whether you are a beleaguered fan of a now-fallen playoff contending team begrudgingly cheering for the underdog or welcoming the next notch in the belt of Belichick and Brady's evil empire, stack your plate, grab a big glass to avoid having to get up too many times, and get ready for Super Bowl 53.
Cheers!
