The Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2017 Drinking Game
As the 16 finalists prepare for their big moment on stage during tomorrow’s Malta Eurovision Song Contest, the rest of us are stocking up and snacks and booze for 2017’s first Eurovision event.
But if you’re looking to make your night a little bit more special, we’ve got the perfect drinking game for you.
Based on what we’ve heard of the songs, and what we know of the singers, we’ve come up with potential scenarios for what’s going on on-stage, and the drinking game rules are simple. You drink every time one of our predicted happenings, happens.
