A keen eye

The playing of this game is based on observational skills.

How to play:

Keep your eyes peeled for any of these occurrences. When you see one... drink.

1. When you walk past a mildly dodgy local restaurant which is usually fairly empty, and it's packed full of disappointed looking couples

You'll know them when you see them. They'll all be crammed in, so that their elbows are digging into a stranger's ribs. When you see them, drink.

2. When you see a woman in Dunnes frantically buying some matching smalls

Drink. And stop staring.

3. When you see a man at the petrol station buying three bunches of crap flowers to try and make one big bouquet

Drink.

Take another drink if he's also buying wine in the petrol station, and a box of Lily O'Briens.

4. If you see a couple having a row

Take two swigs if one of them is crying.

5. If you see someone wandering around M&S with the rejected bits of the romantic dine in for two offer

6. When you get your significant other a Valentine's Day card, and they get you nothing

Have several drinks, nay, ALL the drinks.

7. If you spot the couple who accidentally organised their first date for 14 February

Sooooo, what do you do for a living? *all around them couples smooch and make disgusting noises* (Image: Shutterstock)

8. When you spot someone doing the walk of shame tomorrow morning

Buy them a drink.

9. When you see two men or two women sharing a lovely moment together
