There are a lot of ways to get drunk at the World Cup. From a vuvuzela, at breakfast, licking your arm the day after celebrating (or mourning) your team. But two lads came up with perhaps the most efficient way to get drunk during this World Cup: down a drink for each time Neymar takes a dive.

Belgian bartenders are going to get an arm workout. Neymar might be diving, but everyone else will be drowning in drink.
