ARMY OFFICER CREATES DRINKING GAME

COLUMBUS, Ga. (Wireless Flash) -- The market for new drinking games has almost dried up lately but an army officer in Columbus, Georgia, hopes to quench the thirst of guzzling gamers. 31-year-old 2nd Lieutenant Steve Vann is one of the creators of "Bulyah," a new drinking board game that he says was inspired after he got bored playing beer games like "Quarters." Players of Bulyah must travel around a board trying to collect enough letters to spell "Bulyah" -- but landing on some squares forces players to do humiliating acts such as shouting "I'm stupid!" everytime they take a drink. To make sure the game was fun to play, Vann says he tested the game on boozehounds and discovered that while it can be fun without being blitzed, "alcohol does improve the game."
