Boston Marathon Bingo is here:

With that spirit in mind we need to up the ante and come up with a Boston Marathon drinking game. Whose got an idea? Maybe there should be different versions. One for those who are off for work and one for those sneaking in the race at work.
As Mad Men shows Americans used to really throw them back at work in the 1960s.
"Been drinking all night till my eyes got red, stumbled on gutter and busted my head"
That a shot every time the commentators talk about a human interest story.
Sip every time you hear the words "pace", "distress", "smooth", "relaxed", or any mention of the weather.
Shot every time you hear "Heartbreak Hill" or "Wellesley College".
Pour a little out every time they mention the bombing.
Take a shot every time Larry Rawson utters a sentence with a fractured sentence structure or says "go down to your local track....."
Take a shot every mile
I thought of a good one but it is so inappropriate I would probably get banned for life for posting it.

When they miss a big move because of a commercial, finish your drink.
When they miss a big move because they are covering a human interest story, finish your drink and take a shot.
When they miss the finish of the men's race because they are interviewing the winner of the women's race, take two shots.
Take a shot every time they talk about cheaters. Drink the entire bottle if they talk about the man R0ssi himself
Drink when Larry Rawson converts mile pace to 1600m pace
Finish your drink every time they mention Meb, who's not even in the f'ing race.
how old are you now?

We're all young at heart here at the interweb's greatest site!
One drink when the local elite level runner tries to break away from the pack in the first 10k.
One drink when that guy bonks out and gets swallowed by the leaders.
One drink for every time the commentators talk about one of the leaders having an advantage in a close finish because of their "track speed".
One drink for every time the commentators use a different pronunciation for an E. African name or have to say the name more than once to get the pronunciation right.

That will keep you busy and buzzed.
I'm chugging a 40 every time I hear the name Steve Spence, "Legend of Steve Spence".
Every time a guy is dropped from the lead pack as a result of a surge, do a shot. Every time a runner in the lead pack grabs a sponge and cools or hydrates themselves, allow yourself a drink of water or a chaser.
If a rando pulls a Rossi, bottoms up.
If someone breaks away, take a drink. If that person gets caught within a mile of Heartbreak Hill, finish your drink.
If the person who breaks away wins, do a beer mile immediately.
Every time a comentator says "go down to your local track" for pace perspective
