Grab a beer and play our Jason Aldean drinking game

It’s a question we get asked at least 37 times each and every day.

How do you play the Jason Aldean drinking game?

OK, we’ll explain it again this one last time since the hugely popular country singer is in town this weekend.

Now, as we all know, Aldean’s catalog is so beer, whiskey and moonshine soaked, it makes you want to drink almost as much as your sad, sad life does.

But, like Aldean himself, you need to do it in style.

Hence, we’ve devised the ultimate way to enjoy Aldean’s tunes and some serious boozing at the same time.

Here’s how it works.

Aldean has some pet topics that he references frequently in his hard rockin’ honky tonk, chief among them: country roads, legendary country singers, Southern states and, the granddaddy of them all, pickup trucks.

So, whenever Aldean mentions any of the above in one of his tunes, you take a drink.

Easy, right?

To show you how it’s done, we’ve taken the set list for Aldean’s tour, which stops at the MGM Grand Garden arena Sunday, and synced it up with our world-famous drinking game so that you will be prepared to play along when you go to the show.

Listed below is each tune that Aldean will perform, in order, followed by the number of drinks you need to take for each one.

Steel your liver, and let’s do this:

­■ “Crazy Town”

Three: Truck, Southern state, country legend

Sadly, not an ode to the rap-rock one-hit wonders who gave us “Butterfly.” Pay tribute to them in your own special way by making your cocktail disappear as swiftly as their earning potential did.

­■ “Take a Little Ride”

Two: Truck, country road

Take a little ride to where? Destination: Schlitz-burg. Population: You.

­■ “Tattoos on This Town”

Two: Truck, country road

This song is about something you won’t have tomorrow: memories.

­■ “When She Says Baby”

None

Right about now you should be buzzing like a cheap TV, so time for a break as Aldean displays his sensitive side. Fellas, hold your lady close, grip her tight, like she was the last Budweiser in the cooler.

­■ “The Truth”

None

The truth is you’re getting thirsty, aren’t you?

­■ “Fly Over States”

Two: Country road, Southern state

This song is a big ol’ middle finger to uppity big city types who think they’re so much better than everyone else for having things like paved streets and multiple stoplights where they live. Take two drinks while scoffing at the absurdity of indoor plumbing.

­■ “Texas Was You”

One: Southern state

Another love song. Turn to your better half, Michelob Ultra in hand, and drink like her parents did when they first got a load of you.

­■ “Johnny Cash”

One: Country legend

In this tune, our hero tells his boss to shove it, hops in his Pontiac with his lady and heads to our fair city to get hitched by an Elvis impersonator while the Man in Black blares on the car stereo along the way. Isn’t that pretty much how we all got here?

­■ “Amarillo Sky”

None

Yeah, it’s a Southern city, but the state isn’t mentioned by name in the song so no sipping here.

­■ “Night Train”

One: Truck

A tune about drinking in the woods late at night as a train roars by, an activity that’s kind of like playing this game to completion in that it’s clearly a product of some really, really good decision making where it’s hard to imagine anything going wrong in any way ever.

­■ “1994”

One: Truck

In 1994, Tonya Harding inspired a vicious attack on rival skater Nancy Kerrigan, which is kind of what you’re doing to your motor skills, currently.

­■ “Don’t You Wanna Stay”

None

This is what you say to the bar staff at last call. They respond by trying to catch the attention of the nearest security personnel.

­■ “Tennessee River”

One: Southern state

A cover of an Alabama classic that’s about settling down and having a family. Speaking of kids, you’ll have to put off feeding them for a couple of days thanks to the bar tab you’re racking up. Oh well. Finish that Jager bomb, pops!

­■ “Big Green Tractor”

None

By now, you’re like a cornfield after said tractor has done its business: plowed. Take a couple of songs off.

­■ “The Only Way I Know”

None

You’ll need a breather before the next one …

­■ “Dirt Road Anthem”

Three: Country road, truck, country legend

… And here it is, a song about partying extra hard, like a name-checked George Jones, who is sadly no longer with us. There is a tear in your beer. Actually, your tears are beer at this point.

­■ “She’s Country”

Two: Truck, Southern state

She’s country, and you’re seeing two of her right about now. Neither one of them thinks you’re funny and/or good looking.

­■ “My Kinda Party”

Three: Truck, Southern state, country legend

Finish strong! Here’s a good idea: Take your shirt off, pretend it’s a bullwhip, and then lash it at the hottie in the seat next to you while declaring, “I’m Indiana Jones-in’ for your lovin’!”

­■ “Hicktown”

One: Truck

Another jab at city slickers who like to “party in Martini bars an’ like to show off in their fancy foreign cars.” Fair enough. Now, just make sure a designated driver is behind the wheel of your fancy foreign car on the way home.
