The Olympics are a time for us to come together as a nation as we cheer on our athletes. It's also a time for us to do what we Americans do best: drink.
The 2021 Summer Olympics are here! And 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. So grab some of your closest friends and get ready to go for the gold!
Oh, and before the drinking begins, it'd probably be best if you had the Olympic schedule and Team USA roster. Okay, now, we can start!
