WAY back in the early 90’s we used to go to a bar that played satellite radio. So unlike a jukebox, no one could ever know what song was coming up. Therefore..

The first person to shout out the name the band that wrote the song that is playing makes everyone else drink. Was a wicked fun game on quarter beer night.

Fast forward to modern day times, and it has continued to carry out even when not in bars, so…. Now- walking around a supermarket with the girlfriend, and it’s:

“Aerosmith, drink!” or,

Chris De Burgh, drink!

Even if there’s nothing to drink. So, not only has it transcended the years, it also evolved into a non-drinking game.

The one who wrote the song? That’s like ultimate level hard

Quarter beer = a beer for a quarter or a quarter of the price?

Wow, prices have significantly changed. Holy shit.

It was a special they did weekly on a single evening. Not a everyday price.
