It Power Hour Time!

Hey everyone! Today I woke up after a night of some beer drinking with my roommates and decided I just had to write a post about Power Hour. For those of you who don't know what power hour is I would definitely suggest reading this post because power hour is a great way for beer lovers to start the night off right.

 It has become some what a tradition to hear the phrase "it's power hour time!!" being yelled throughout the halls of my house by my roommate Gary on weekend nights from anywhere between 8:00 p.m and 10:00 p.m. And sure enough once this phrase has been said all of my roommates grab a beer and a shot glass, gather in the living room, and begin what is sure to be a great night.

I know all of you are avid beer lovers, and power hour is a beer drinkers bread and butter, mainly because it can only be played with beer and its a whole lot of fun!

Power Hour is not so much of a game as it is an activity where you drink one shot of beer every minute for and hour, and for obvious reasons can't (or should defiantly not) be done with any alcohol other than beer.

 Heres what happens:

Every participant must have beer in hand and one shot glass ( I suggest you keep a good amount of beer close by because you tend to go through a lot during power hour). Then everyone, as a group, decides which "power hour mix" is going to be used. There are plenty of awesome power hour mixes that can be found online. There are several websites dedicated to creating mixes specifically for power hours, some of which I have listed at the bottom of this post. But you can also just go to youtube.com and search for various mixes depending on what type of music you and your friends like. My personal favorite mix, and one i think you should all try, is the "2000's Decade Power Hour Mix" which is a collaboration of 60 of the most popular songs from this decade, and can be found on youtube. After the mix is chosen all you have to do is take a shot of beer every time the song changes (every minute). Easy Right??

The best part of power hour is the always noticeable progression from completely sober at the first song to not so sober by the last song. As each song comes and goes the atmosphere gets lighter, the laughter gets louder, and the beer supply diminishes. 

I cant tell you guys how many great memories I have of myself and my roommates, my closets friends, coming together in our living room, after hearing Gary's summoning of "It's power hour time!", all of us with beers in hand talking, laughing, and making fun of one another while listening to the songs change and enjoying our favorite activity, power hour. I will never forget the jokes that were made, the adventures that were had, and memories that were spawned all from various power hours with the friends I love. 


Here are some links to always fun power hour mixes. Try them out and let me know what you think!
