Let's be honest, Eurovision is an acquired taste - the music ranges from catchy Euro-Pop, to equally catchy Finnish Metal and takes in everything from Polka to Bonnie Tyler along the way, whilst the acts encompass everything from stunning pop-starlets to Russian grandmothers, and take in everything from Dana International to well... Bonnie Tyler. For some of us, myself included, it's a fantastic celebration of European culture that we tap our feet along to and cringe at in equal measure, whereas for others it represents over four hours of wasted time and license fee money. Regardless of which camp you sit in though, it's undeniable that alcohol can improve the situation (and I don't mean by going to the pub instead) because drinking along to Eurovision can heighten the Euphoria (pun intended) for those of us who enjoy watching it and can make the "pain" of viewing more bearable for viewers who, truth be told, would much rather be at the pub. As with all drinking games, I'd encourage you to create your own rules but to get you started I'm going to cover some of the rules that were devised during my 2nd year of university (and a few that have been added since) but first we need to think about the structure of the Eurovision Song Contest.* The night itself can be split into four main parts: the presenters, the voting period, the songs, and the points. We'll look at each of these in turn and examine some of the rules but before that I'd be remiss if I didn't to remind you to drink responsibly - with all drinking games its easy to drink more than you intended so it's important to know your limits. So without further ado, let's look at what you will need and the preparation you will need to do (don't worry its not much). *I won't be covering the Semi Finals as a) they've already happened and b) because the UK qualifies automatically it doesn't get the same airtime that the main show does.
