15 Harvard Drinking Games

It’s that time of year. You’re trudging through the Yard, avoiding obnoxious tourists and endless sludge piles when suddenly it hits you: Spring Break is still 3 weeks away, your classes are nowhere as interesting as they seemed during Shopping Period, and you got stuck in yet another class with “section guy.” Well, don’t apply to take time off just yet. Cut out the Harvard Survival Guide Drinking Game, buy yourself a nice big hip flask, and start playing.
