The 2024 Summer Olympics are nearly here! This year, the Games are taking place in Paris, France—and it's got us so excited! In honor of this year's competition, we've put together the ultimate drinking game so you can have a little friendly competition of your own. After all, the Olympics are a time for us to come together as a nation as we cheer on our Team USA athletes.

So, don this Team USA Drinking Team t-shirt, grab some of your closest friends, and get ready to go for the gold!
