The Olympic [drinking] Game of the Olympic Games

Finally, we are down to four teams left in the Olympics. With 4 games left, we have 4 occasions to drink. I recommend drinking an ethnically specific beverage. I have some recommendations, because I am hear to aid your alcoholism.

US – Jack DAniels

Canada – Molson

Slovakia – Slovakian plum brandy

Finland – Anything. It doesn’t even have to be cold.

Now that we have those stereotypes out of the way, let’s get to 4 more, on for each country! I apologize in advance to dedicated reader Sleza, but if my ethnic stereotyping is correct so far, she’s half in the bag already.

DRINK

… whnever the Miracle on Ice is referenced during American games. I assure you, Paul Stastny does not care about the Miracle on Ice.

… for every double letter in the Finnish puck handler’s name. I’m not sure who you are, Lasse Kukkonen, but I drink to you! Twice!

… every time you recognize someone on the Slovakian team, only to realize that they no longer play in the NHL. Hey! It’z Ziggy Palffy! And he’s on a line with Jozef Stumpel!

… every time you hear about how important hockey is to Canada. Yes, we get it. It’s cold in Canada, and they like skating. Say, they should get the Olympics some time!

Drinking person of the Olympics….. Bob Costas!

– Bob Costas is the sports’ world’s answer to Matthew Broderick

– Bob is perhaps one of the most famous sports personalities in the country, despite working for NBC and being too short to compete on his high school’s ping pong team

– Because of his foul mouth, Bob has always been on tape delay.
