Drinking games for your favorite TV shows

Thread Games
1

In this modern day and age, binge-watching complete seasons of TV shows has become common. I myself recently finished watching Enterprise, and came up with some drinking game rules for it. I extend to my fellow Dopers the opportunity to gamify your couch potato alcoholism for your own shows.

I found one for Farscape:

Take one drink when Crichton makes a pop culture reference.

Take one drink when Aeryn threatens someone/something.

Take one drink when Stark acts crazy.

Take one drink when Rygel screws over everyone else.

Take one drink when Chiana sluts it up.

Take a shot when Scorpius does some creepy shit.

Take one drink when Noranti drugs someone.

Take one drink for “frell,” “mivonks,” or “hezmana.”

Take one drink when there’s a shot of Moya.

Take one drink when there’s a shot of a random DRD. Two drinks if it’s 1812.

Take two drinks when magic shit happens.

Take a shot when there’s a reference to an alien sex act.

Take two shots when John acts crazy to overcome an obstacle.

Finish your drink when Harvey wears a costume.

Pour libations when a crew member dies, then finish your drink and cry a little.

It works better with some episodes than others, but we all felt horrible the next morning and that’s what counts.

This idea occurred to me watching “The World’s Strongest Man”. I thought someone should drink every time they said:

“The future of strongman”
Used the word “focus”
Used the phrase “taking care of business”
