What it is:
A dead simple, cutesy iteration of some of the easiest to grasp sports of all time: Bowling, Golf, Tennis, Baseball, and Boxing.
Why it's perfect:
First, it's the Wii pack-in game, so you're almost guaranteed to have it. Second, it's cute, so the ladies will step right up. Third, the presentation and gameplay are so easy to grasp that the learning curve is practically a flat line. Fourth, you have a great assortment here: we would have picked a tennis, golf, or bowling game by itself to put on this list. The fact that they're all here together means you can switch games so quickly that your crowd of sloshy participants won't have the chance to wander off
Where does the booze go?
Down the hatch every time someone wins, loses, or derails the fun for 20 minutes by demanding to make a new Mii. You can also drink on strikes and gutter balls, on birdies or bogies, aces, or any other time a player scores or doesn't score. For lightning-fast inebriation, drink once for every pin you leave standing in bowling, every stroke in golf that doesn't go in the hole, or every time you actually hit the ball back in tennis.
