Ah State of Origin, one of the few nights a year it’s socially acceptable to drink on a school night.

As a lifelong New South Wales supporter, State of Origin goes hand-in-hand with drinking to forget – so I feel like while we certainly haven’t mastered the ancient art of not losing rugby league games by heaps of points, we’ve absolutely nailed institutionalised drinking.

So without further ado, I give to you the very-not-official State of Origin drinking game rules for 2017.
