Shark Week Drinking Game Will Have You Swimming (PICTURE)

Looking to add a little twist to your Shark Week?

Introducing the Shark Week drinking game!

Not that the the wildly popular Discovery Channel series lacks excitement, but nothing says 'I'm enjoying Shark Week' like getting splashed for the show. Game rules include drinking one sip when an Australian narrates a segment and finishing your entire drink in honor of anyone who perishes by the jaws of a shark.

What would Chief Shark Officer Andy Samberg think of all this? He'd probably tell those of you old enough for this game to Shark Week responsibly!

Here are the complete rules, as posted by Redditor CultofPersonality:

Hilarious...but since my 5-year old daughter is obsessed with SW, I'll have to skip playing this year.

Kick the television every time the Gillette commercial comes on!! Or drink Fosters every time they do a commercial about that. I also need to know why Becks uses green glass bottles, I'm curious now.

If you can recite the USS Indianapolis speech by Robert Shaw from Jaws - you automatically win and everybody must drink to his and your honor!

I think they're trying to avoid alcohol poisoning

Last night I thought I saw a fin when I was in the shower...

Your shower must be gigantic.

Not really, but the fin looked big...maybe I should pass on drinking during Shark Week...nevermind, he's probably friendly.

From what I've seen from Shark Week so far, this drinking game would cause kidney failure. To make it even better, should also add:

10. Footage of a seal - 2 sips.
11. Surf Board with bite mark - 3 sips.
12. Global map shown to illustrate just where South Africa, Australia, and California is in case we didn't know - 2 sips.

Oh my kidneys and liver have turned to soup so far...

There should also be some rule relating to shows about great whites since, so far, all the new episodes have been all about great whites.

All news ways to grab a fast case of alcohol poisoning. Gee, that's..something.

Only wish I could forget about 'our' Congress - but this is a good escape!
