The NFL draft begins tonight! The Seahawks don’t have a pick, so I see no reason for any 12s who are watching the first round to remain sober if they don’t want to. So why not grab your favorite adult beverage and play along with the 12th Man Rising official draft drinking game?
The rules are simple. See the below notes on when to drink and how much. The game is designed with beer or wine in mind. If you’re drinking something stronger, adjust the amounts accordingly.
*please note that 12thMR does not endorse excessive drinking. Please drink responsibly.

Drink Once
- Any time someone mentions Kiper’s hair
- One commentator compliments another on their suit
