DrinkingGame - Lab

Objective

When dealing with threads and the need to access multiple mutex-protected resources, there is the possibility for “deadlock” to occur. Deadlock (sometimes called “deadly embrace”) is a situation where two or more competing actions are waiting for the other to finish, and thus neither ever does. To illustrate this, we are going to write code to run a drinking game.
