* Take a shot when Playmaker's skill "Storm Access" gets him the exact card he needs to turn the match around and/or win.

* Take a big gulp—preferably from a rocks glass—if a player successfully performed a [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/One_Turn_Kill One Turn Kill]] on their opponent.

* Down your drink if someone uses Maxx "C" and their opponent responds by [[CrazyEnoughToWork spamming Special Summons to try and make them draw their entire deck]].

** Playing Superheavy Samurai, take a shot if you activate a Spell or Trap Card.

* Take a drink every time you encounter a Qilphort deck on an online Yu-Gi-Oh game or dueling simulator like Dueling Network or Yu-Gi-Oh PRO. Take two if it's clear the person using it has no idea what they're doing. [[labelnote:*]]Doing this around the time this example was added (3/18/15) is [[PlayerPreferredPattern not recommended.]][[/labelnote]]

** Take two shots if someone else says it, or a variant on it "such as Cathy's "Cattobingu".

* Take a drink whenever ScrewTheRulesIHavePlot is in full effect. (Warning; it's not recommended to do this with the second series anime, ''especially'' the Duelist Kingdom arc, unless you really hate your liver.)

* Take a glass for every time a main character summons their signature monster during a duel. Take two glasses for every duel where a main character's signature monster DOESN'T play a role. Chug if a main character's signature monster does get used, but it's by somebody else. (If you value your life, do ''not'' watch the episodes where Yugi duels Pandora.)
* Take a drink every time violence is clearly and poorly cut out in the dub. Finish your drink if they DON'T remove it.
* Take a shot for every NeverSayDie moment in the English version of any of the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' shows. (WARNING: Doing this while watching the [[Anime/YuGiOh original series']] Battle City arc or the 5Ds Dark Signer arc will send your liver to the Shadow Realm.)
