How will you survive 12 hours of basketball watching?

When I was younger, I had elaborate systems. I would alternate among beer, water and soda, in a futile attempt to keep the proper balance of hydration, caffeination and inebriation during a 12-hour shift of the NCAA Tournament. But that was when I was younger.

Time and inertia make lazy sports viewers of us all. I am significantly more likely to drink whatever is at the front of the fridge, and on days like today, last night’s leftover pizza is looking pretty good. So, Fat City readers, we’ve got 12 hours of NCAA basketball to get through. What’s your strategy for eating and drinking today in order to give yourself the best opportunity for maximum enjoyment and least discomfort?
