As you walk home from your late night weekend festivities, it’s pretty much inevitable that you’ll hear a snippet of a conversation between drunken passerby that, out of context, will force you to clap a shocked hand over your mouth to suppress an onslaught of uncontrollable laugher.

Read more about the internal strife of the Student Alliance after the jump.
Drinking games give Natty a reason to exist. They can make a quiet night in with the roommates a complete shitshow. Most importantly, they give you something to do while you're enjoying an alcoholic beverage with your friends and fellow Penn Staters.
