Eat, Pray, Love: The Drinking Game For Travel Girls During Lockdown

Hold on to your floppy hats and grab your favorite drink, it’s time for the Eat, Pray, Love drinking game designed just for our travel girls currently staying at home during lockdown.

If you’re heartbroken over having a trip cancelled due to the pandemic, you are not alone! Instead of wandering the cobblestone streets of Europe, travelers are lazily snacking by the fridge. We’ve traded our swimsuits at the beach for sweatpants on the couch. And instead of excursions, we are binge watching Netflix.

While we do the important and necessary work of staying home, there is no shortage of movies to fuel your wanderlust and get you daydreaming about travel again. And there is no travel movie as iconic as Eat, Pray, Love. If you haven’t read the book about a woman who leaves her husband and embarks on a healing journey to Italy, India & Indonesia, you should. But while you’re killing time in the pandemic lockdown, you probably also have time to watch the movie. And while you’re at it, we’ve put together a little Eat, Pray, Love drinking game to help pass the time. Pour yourself a drink and let’s get started!

The Rules

Drink anytime Liz eats

Whether it’s pasta, gelato or pizza- this rule will have you polishing off your first drink in no time.

Drink anytime Liz does a voiceover

With plenty of flashbacks and internal narrative, you’ll be busy sippin’ your drink anytime her voice plays over a scene to describe her inner feelings… any voiceover at all!

Finish your drink when Liz arrives in a country you’ve traveled

Have you traveled to Italy? Finish your drink when Liz first touches down. India? Gulp, gulp. Indonesia? Bottoms up!

Pass out 2 drinks to another player anytime Liz goes to a tourist attraction you’ve visited

You’ll see plenty of famous landmarks and tourist hotspots. This list includes but is not limited to the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Bali rice fields and more!

Drink anytime Liz prays

From the heartfelt first prayer in her home to the ashram in India. Let’s included mediating in this as well. Any spiritual practice. If Liz prays or meditates- you drink!

Drink anytime Liz speaks in another language

Pay attention! Anytime Liz greets another character or thanks them in a language other than English, take a drink. When Liz practices her Italian in the bathtub or practices her pronunciation …that counts as well!

Drink anytime Liz mentions another country (and drink twice if you’ve been there!)

Italy, Aruba, India, Indonesia… the list goes on… If she mentions it, you drink! If you’ve been there, you drink twice.
