A Delightful Drinking Game

Last weekend, after finishing an invigorating game of Bananagrams with my wife and a couple of our friends at my early birthday party, we struggled to think of the perfect drinking game.  Clinging to the crosswordy awesomeness of my newly discovered favorite game, I suggested that we place a shot in the middle of the table and each take 10 tiles from the bag.  After someone started the game with the familiar "split", the last of us to make a word five letters or longer with our tiles would have to take a drink.

As you would expect, we all agreed that this was the greatest drinking game ever in the history of drinking games.  Although there is no way I was the first person to combine drinking and Bananagrams, I'm writing this post in the hope that someone, someday, will find this post and go on to drinking game glory.
