With the Winter Olympics kicking off in Sochi this week, everyone will be glued to the opening ceremonies, which will be broadcast live on Friday night at 7:30 on NBC. If you're like me and didn't train for 20 years to compete, you'll just have to grab a beer and join in the only event we're qualified for: the Opening Ceremony Drinking Game!

Rules:

Whenever Matt Lauer pretends to admire the ugly USA team's official uniforms: DRINK!

Each time Bob Costas says the word "Fisht": DRINK!

If any country drops their flag, SHOT OF VODKA!

If there is a performance of the Trololo song: DRINK!

If the Jamaican bobsled team is mentioned: DRINK!

If someone brings up the movie "Cool Runnings": DRINK AGAIN!

If they do it in a fake Jamaican accent, FINISH YOUR BEER!

Liechtenstein: DRINK!

Shot of Putin frowning: DRINK!
