Film Drinking Games

If you are looking for an interesting experience, I might suggest trying a drinking game. You simply watch a film, and when certain things happen you drink. There can be various rules, but that is basically what the game is all about. The challenge is to make it all the way to the end of the film. You may find others you like, but here are a couple I like, as well as one I made up myself...

'Withnail & I'
The rules to this one are simple. The player has to drink everything that Withnail drinks throughout the film. This may also include smoking the Camberwell Carrot, and it's probably recommended to also eat the bit of food he eats as well. It's also HIGHLY recommended to exchange the lighter fluid for an alcoholic drink of your choice!
This one is an expert's game, for hardened drinkers only. It is extremely difficult, and also quite expensive! Not recommended for the inexperienced drinker to even attempt this one, but it could perhaps be altered to an easier form.


'Wild Zero'
The drinking game is an official part of the film, and it seems to have been made with this in mind. You choose your own drink and take a gulp whenever any of the following happens...
-Someone drinks
-Someone combs their hair
-Someone says, "ROCK AND ROLL!"
-Flames shoot out of something (includes explosions)
-A zombie's head explodes
Rock band Guitar Wolf are in the film, and apparently they cut down on their drinking for the duration. This is a nice game for beginners, not too difficult - but you select your own difficulty with your choice of drink. But this is probably my favourite because it's so much FUN to play. It's all about what you're drinking to, and raising your drink while celebrating ROCK AND ROLL, or while flames are billowing is excellent.


'Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas'
This one is more difficult, but it really puts you in the same position as the characters in the film. Pick your own drink, and drink when...
-Duke changes his cigarette
-Any kind of intoxicant is seen or consumed
-You see an American flag
For a film full of drink and drugs, it is the numerous flags which get you. This would be much better for a proud American to play; I don't appreciate drinking to a foreign flag so much, even if it is a good one (originally) worthy of honouring. I found that I got ill at the same time as the characters on screen, and recovered when they were fine. Since one of the characters vomits during the film this may be allowed (and probably required). Instead of drinking only, this game may possibly be altered into a drinking and smoking game, like one I invented...


'Supergirl'
Choose your own drink and smoke, and drink when...
-Someone eats or drinks
-Kara uses one of her superpowers
-The Omegahedron spins, or someone says, "Omegahedron"
Smoke a bong when...
-Someone smokes a cigarette
-Kara travels between worlds (home/Earth/Phantom zone)
-Kara does something incredibly cute or sexy
(Optional: Eat a pill of your choice when the headmaster eats a pill)
This game is mildly difficult, but can be completed without too much trouble. The smoking seems to stop the drinking from having too bad an effect. But it just makes the film more enjoyable to watch.


Note that the more difficult drinking games can require a recovery time. It may make you ill for up to two days, (or perhaps even longer) so take this into account if you are attempting a challenging game.
