**I'm a pretty regular poster, so I thought I'd throw something a little different at you. This is a drinking game I wrote in a few minutes. It's based on Hemmingway's Old Man and the Sea. If you're a big Hemmingway fan, don't worry, it's all in good fun! If you think you can do better, I think you probably can. I'm open to feedback on if you know of any other styles of 'drinking games' I could write for.**<br><br> <br><br>Old Man and the Sea: A Drinking Game<br><br>(storm clouds gathering)<br><br>It’s a long way to the sea, and you can’t make it in the dark, so we should get going.<br><br> <br>* **Santiago’s Sea Salt - Vodka**<br>* **The Marlin’s Sake - Sake**<br><br> <br><br>Old Man and the Sea: A Drinking Game<br><br>(Don Quixote)<br><br>“Woe is me, I am the unluckiest of them all.
