Note: Tomorrow People don't ingest anything that will affect the functioning of their minds. Alcohol affects the mind. Therefore, Tomorrow People don't drink alcohol. This game is meant for root beer, juice, or other soft drinks, or you could use M&M's (1=sip, 2=gulp, use snack size/halloween size bags for whole drink-- or two really big handfuls). Or you can be really weird and put the M&M's in a drink. But the M&M's have to be blue, and the drink must be carbonated and sweetened.
