March Madness marches on: So much booze. So many drugs. So little time.
First of all, a round of applause to Friday’s winners, Coke, Advil, Vodka, and PBR, who will advance in this competition. Farewell, Heroin! Goodbye Tylenol! Auf wiedersehen, Jager Bomb! Buh-Bye, Boone’s Farm! We’re pouring some out for you homies.
Get your pom-poms ready, it’s time to cheer for your favorite teams in a whole new round of games!
Over in Illegal Drug stadium, conquering hero Weed (1) is up against twitchy underdog Bath Salts (8). Pretty sure Weed is the fan favorite here, but we’ll see.

A trippier match is the one between Quaaludes (5) and Mushrooms (4). While ‘Ludes have the cachet of hailing from the Gyllenhaal/Sarsgaard School of Nomenclature, ‘Shrooms have that all-natural, organic vibe going and everyone loves taking them camping.

Even more mind-bending: LSD (11) vs. Molly (3). This game’s got a generational divide going on: Old School versus New Cool, Mad Men vs. Miley. Anything can happen.

Finally, Ayahuasca (10) vs. Coke (2) : Would you rather get in touch with your inner child while romping through the spirit world guided by a shaman, only to violently projectile vomit? Or do you want to get all amped up and talk a mile a minute while sweating through heart palpitations? In the immortal works of Black Sheep: The choice is yours.

Next up, at the Legal Drugs amphitheater, a huge match-up: Caffeine (1) vs. Immodium (8). These are both hugely important chemicals. One the one hand, you gotta get up to get down. On the other: Who else is saving your ass?

Another seriously tough game: The venerable Vicodin (12) vs. velvety vulpine vixen Valium (13). Veritably vital, both, yet they each vie for victory!
Embed was removed for legal reasons Here’s a moody game: Prozac (6) vs. Adderall (3). A vote for ‘Zac is a vote for all anti-depressants; if Addie wins, it’s a boost for psychostimulants. Watch this space closely.
CORRECTION: THIS GAME IS PROZAC VS. XANAX. We’re too doped up over here, obviously.

Strong-as-hell team Vodka (2) keeps on winning… But does it have what it takes to beat Brandy (7)?

Let’s move on to the so-called Soft Stuff. One of the biggest games today is the one where number-one seed Champagne is meeting Red Wine (8) on the court. I’m nervous, you guys. I can’t be objective here. I’ve got a horse in this race, and it’s the crisp, bubbly sparkling goddess of méthode champenoise. Red wine is lovely, beautiful, great with snacks or dinner. But you can’t make a mimosa, ring in New Year’s Eve, eat a decadent dessert, launch a ship or be a character on Dynasty without Champagne. Don’t let me down, people.

Finally: Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA (10) vs. PBR (2) is about savoring vs. guzzling, I guess? I really only care about Champagne so whatever.
