GAME ON! Throwing an awesome game day party.

Like a good coach, a good host should have a plan before the big game. Think about your guests' tastes and preferences before you go to the supermarket; this will help you save time and money. Lay out snacks, drinks and eating utensils before the game so you don't miss a minute of the action. Serve something different, like a dessert, during halftime or seventh inning to mix things up.

Beer is the standard game day drink, but try serving a few easy-to-make drinks for your guests. Keep spirits and mixers near the TV so your fellow fans can make their own drinks.

Game Day Drinks

Red Stripe
Moderate body and bitterness make it great for game time.

Guinness Draught in Can
Few brews have loyaler fans

Captain & Cola
Easy to mix so you won't miss a moment of the game

Bloody Mary
Lay out the seasonings (like Tabasco sauce) for some fun
