Inspired by the unpredictable weather in Baton Rouge, we’ve crafted a “weather-watching” drinking game that’s perfect for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re a seasoned Baton Rouge resident or just passing through, this game is sure to add some excitement to your weather updates. Read on to discover the rules, how to play, and what you’ll need to get started.

How to Play the Baton Rouge Weather Drinking Game

Baton Rouge’s dynamic weather patterns make it the ideal backdrop for this playful game. Gather your friends, stock up on beverages, and get ready for a stormy good time.

Materials Needed

  • A reliable weather app or a live weather broadcast
  • A variety of beverages (alcoholic or non-alcoholic based on preference)
  • Comfortable seating and a great view of the sky

Game Rules

  1. Choose Your Weather Elements: Before starting, agree on a list of weather occurrences that will trigger a drink. Examples could include:
    • Rain: Take one sip every time it starts or stops raining.
    • Thunder: Take two sips when you hear thunder.
    • Lightning: Take an extra sip for every visible lightning bolt.
    • Temperature Changes: If the temperature drops or rises by 5°F within an hour, take one sip.
    • Weather Alerts: Finish your drink when a weather alert is issued.

  2. Set Time Frames: Decide on a time frame for your game. You can play for an hour, an entire afternoon, or during a specific weather event.

  3. Additional Challenges: Spice it up with extra challenges like:
    • Predict the next weather change. If you’re wrong, take a drink.
    • Assign a “Weather Master” each round who predicts the weather pattern. If their prediction is correct, they can assign drinks to others.
  4. Safety First: Always encourage responsible drinking. Ensure everyone has a safe way to get home if alcohol is involved.

Why Play?

This weather-inspired drinking game is a fantastic way to bond over the unique climate that Baton Rouge offers. It adds an element of fun to otherwise mundane weather-watching and provides a delightful way to socialize with friends.
