Geeks Who Drink


Where: In over 100 pubs/bars in 13 states. Check the WHD website for more info.
Fandom: General
Price: Free


There is one thing that people everywhere enjoy, nerd or not, and that is winning free stuff.  Nerds don’t exactly have a history of winning the smaller battles (too busy planning for World Domination). Now we have Geeks Who Drink! What started in Denver, Colorado has spread across thirteen states! Nerds and Geeks are rejoicing that all the obscure bits of knowledge they acquired can be finally used for good!

What is this marvel that is Geeks Who Drink? Well, it’s a pub-quiz over movies, music, sex, video games and various other subjects while you drink yourself silly! Not only do you have a chance to win cool prizes but it’s free! There are only two reasons of why you would have to pay. The first is for charity and all that money goes to a good cause.  While that’s sweet, the second reason you would have to pay is if you are playing to win money. Winning money can make any nerd giddy.  

Note: While the event is free, it would be nice to support your local pub by buying some food and/or drinks. While you’re at it, just buy a round for everyone there.  Oh, don’t forget to tip the waiters. They have to deal with your nerdy drunkass.  

You can have up to six people on a team or you could always choose to be forever alone. Don't know anyone but want a team? That's OK because you could just join other teams or create one with the people whose friends "forgot to come." Make sure to be creative with your team name and pick something cool or highly inappropriate.  

Here are a few of my favorite team names that actually exist:
  • Hitler Was Teased As A Kid
  • Lemon Party Like It's 1999
  • David After The Rapist
  • Condoms & Rattlesnakes Are Two Things We Don't Fuck With.
  • I Would Kill Myself Too If I Were Married To A Real Housewife

Funny enough, these are some nicer ones. There are quite a few even I’m too bashful to publish.

Geeks Who Drink is just too great of an experience to pass up. If there’s one going on in your area, check it out! If there isn’t a Geeks Who Drink in your neighborhood, I have a crazy idea for you: start one yourself! Whoa, I bet I just blew your mind.  Just go to the website to learn how to be the coolest geek in town.
