* ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony'''s 19th episode is even named "The Music/DavidBowie Drinking Game", and the opening credits encourage the viewers to take a drink for every reference to David Bowie. Cue Rarity chanting, "Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie..."

Based on past LOTR movies, they were expecting it to win two or three, rather than eleven.

* In Mintjellyfish's story, ''FanFic/The75'', inspired by The Victors Project, during the First Quarter Quell, Woof gets into a drinking game with Faraday (a District 5 victor) as they watch the fights between tributes.

* [[LetsPlay Lets Player]] LetsPlay/Goodbye18000 has done a drinking game for [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Big the Cat]] in his ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' LP for the [=PS3=]. The rules involve taking a shot for [[DarthWiki/MostAnnoyingSound every time Big says "Froggy"]], [[TooDumbToLive every time Big does something stupid]] and [[GoodBadBugs every time a glitch occurs]]. Although he miscounts the first drink, he fixes it for later parts. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_zWyqhMNFA Part 1 here!]]
* ''LetsPlay/TippingForties'': For every [[LetsPlay LP]] the guys do words are chosen to drink on and each week a few are picked by the [[Website/SomethingAwful SA]] forums. Fans are encouraged to participate at home. At least for the VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia LP this has backfired: [[MagnificentBastard someone]] seems to be playing two hours ahead of the crew in order to pick the words used most often, such as [[DarthWiki/MostAnnoyingSound "world" and "Cruxis."]]

* In the LisaShearin novel ''Armed and Magical'', two Guardians talking with Raine as she watches the local University's commencement ceremony mention that on the occasions that they aren't on duty during commencement, they show up anyway - so that they can sit at an outside table at the bar across the street from where the speeches are made, at which point they drink shots every time the archmage makes a sarcastic comment during his speech. They freely admit to getting totally hammered during these occasions.

-->'''David Mitchell''': I can't help but feel that the company wouldn't ''need'' to seek a merger if we hadn't adopted as company policy the idea of downing a glass of rare vintage claret every time someone says "merger".

[[folder:Fan Fic]]
* In ''FanFic/AnEntryWithABang'', [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showpost.php?p=4310786&postcount=147 one of the chapters]] has two people discussing double heat sink manufacture, while the people around them have a drinking game around the words.
--> “Well, thank you for you time. It was very informative. But why are those people shouting every time someone mentions ‘heat sinks’?”
--> “HEAT SINKS!”
--> “That’s very annoying.”
--> “Hey, it’s a drinking game. If you wanted dignity and formality and all that shit, you should have visited during business hours instead of barging into my home on our day off. Now excuse me, I need to get drunk.”
* In [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4545504/1/Aspirations Aspirations]], it is mentioned the Slytherins used to have a drinking game based on Ron and Hermione bickering. Snape had to ban it due to all the alcohol poisonings.
* The ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'' has this suggested for a game at Fluttercruel's Cute-Ceañera. It gets turned down on account of [[NoodleIncident what happened last time Twilight got drunk]], what happens when Pinkie Pie gets drunk, and what happened last time [[SharingABody Fluttershy/Fluttercruel]] got drunk.
* In ComicBook/XMen fanfic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7071984/1/Welcome_to_the_Institute_Hank Welcome to the Institute, Hank]] by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2359030/Artemiss_Liege Artemis's Liege]], Logan, Hank and Scott devise a drinking game whilst grading student essays.

** If the other player tells a story without the lie counter going up, take a sip.

** If you tell a story and ''your'' counter goes up, drain the mug.
* In ''Fanfic/SuperSentaiVsPowerRangersTheLiveblog'', in order to cope with ''Fanfic/SuperSentaiVsPowerRangers'', Rika makes up a drinking game that's based on the events of the fic or how the characters are acting, with the rules being added as it continues. Some of the rules:
** Take a shot when Mako's bad cooking skills get mentioned.
** Take a shot when the author's preference for ''{{Series/Choujin Sentai Jetman}}'' or hatred towards the Disney-era ''{{Franchise/Power Rangers}}'' is shown.
** Take a shot when "rush" is used, and take two shots if the word's used correctly.
* In ''Fanfic/ParallelProcessing'', a poster on the Citadel forums suggests one about a SoBadItsGood Alliance movie. Another poster states the rules will kill a krogan half an hour in.

[[folder:Film - Animated]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', Mr. Incredible sneaks up on a group of mooks who are watching the Omnidroid face down the army on TV.
--> '''Mook:''' Every time they run, we take a shot.

[[folder:Film - Live Action]]
* The ''Film/WildZero'' [=DVD=] has a drinking game in the options menu. Turn it on and a beer icon appears whenever the game wants you to drink.

[[folder:Podcast]]

--> '''Matthew:''' Any time you hear a pun, drink [...] It's also surnames only, so it's [Nick] Helm, it's [Sara] Pascoe, it's Parry, it's Crosby, it's Clark. Any time you hear the title of a Beatles song, you have to drink.

[[folder:Stand-up Comedy]]
* One of Creator/MargaretCho's routines mentions ''Series/TheLoveBoat'' Drinking Game. "You pick a character at the beginning of the show, and every time that character came on screen, you would drink. You could always spot the alcoholics cause they're the ones going, 'I wanna be the ship!'".
* One routine from Music/BillBailey's ''Part Troll'' mentions "Drink Along With Dallas" - whenever someone on Dallas has a drink, you have one too. Unfortunately for Bill the first episode he saw was the oil barons ball - he ended up in casualty.

[[folder:Theatre]]
* Legitimate Theater Company in New York did ''Theatre/TwelfthNight: The Drinking Game''. Triggers included drinking when someone praises Olivia's beauty, whenever there's HoYay, when someone takes a drink onstage, and whenever there's a coded Shakespearean reference to the vagina.

[[folder:Webcomics]]

* [[Webcomic/AnsemRetort Zexion]] decides to play one when they find Xemnas, taking a drink every time he gives a long winded exposition...much to Marluxia's confusion.

-->'''Xemnas:''' Do you have any idea what will happen should Sora die?
-->'''Axel:''' No...but you could explain what would happen.
-->'''Zexion:''' Okay, boys, drinks at the ready!
* Webcomic/TheLessThanEpicAdventuresOfTJAndAmal: The title characters decided it would be a good idea to mix Scotch and ''Film/BackToTheFuture''.

* Episode 36 of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' has the ''Anime/YuGiOh'' drinking game (complete with helpful counter): Take a drink every time we mention '''friendship'''. Gets especially amusing later when the 'friendship' counter includes things like Yugi's "I take it back! Your '''friendship''' isn't worth that much!"
** During the Third Anniversary Spectacularmathon party, Marik tries to create several drinking games for him and Bakura, only to be thwarted at every turn. First they try "every time Zombie Boy says "brains", drink." This is after Zombie boy revealed himself to be [[spoiler:perfectly capable of talking normally]]. Then they try "every time Bandit Keith says "[[WearingAFlagOnYourHead In America]]", drink." This is after he's revealed to be [[spoiler:Canadian]]. (You really think Marik would have remembered that one...) Then, they try "every time you see an offensive stereotype, drink". Sadly for them, [[Film/{{Borat}} Shadi]] and [[ThoseWackyNazis those wacky Kaibacorp nazis]] weren't invited, British Bakura had just recently been escorted to the hospital (don't ask how Dark Bakura was there too) and Yami had just killed the gay clown. Finally, when a time bomb is sent to the party, Marik says "Every time we all explode and die, we take a-[[KilledMidSentence *BOOM!*]]
** ''Bonds Beyond Time Abridged'' had fun with this in the credits
--> Every time there's a {{plot hole}}, take a drink. Good luck. [[{{Emoticon}} :)]]\\
''({{Beat}})''\\
Okay, fine. Here's the real drinking game. Every time Yusei slips into [[CanadaEh a Canadian accent]], take a drink. Seriously, check out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wu5xfzbY2E&t=1858 30:58]]. "Withoot".
* Webvideo/TheMusicVideoShow did this on an episode, taking a drink for every hip-hop cliche in that episode's music video.
--> [[Main/CantHoldHisLiquor "This music video is blaaaaaaand!"]]
* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick has started doing drinking games, beginning with the [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thedudette/nostalgia-chick/27032-hercules Hercules Drinking Game]] which includes some general rules for every Disney movie (Every time a character talks or sings about what they want) as well as movie-specific ones (Whenever the fat muse says something funny, whenever Hades flames up).
* [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] has one in his [[ComicBook/TeenTitans Titans #1]] review for every time a full page or two page spread shows up. (Depending on what you were drinking, you could end up pretty plastered, considering just in the single comic there were 11 of them.)
** [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] also has one for the [[ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns part 2]] and the rules for it are the same. If you do this one try something non-alcoholic.
** One might suggest double shots for any comic with a double spread that must be turned on the side as he loathes those so much.
** In his 200th review special Linkara suggests in the credits that viewers take a shot every time he says something is "pointless."
** He also thought about creating one for Rob Liefeld's artwork, but then realized that one would be dead by the second page due to alcohol poisoning.
* WebVideo/StuartAshen provides one for the viewer in the description of his Barcode Battler review.
-->"Take a shot every time I say "Right," and "...or something." Alcohol poisoning may ensue."
* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic played the Creator/StephenKing drinking game while reviewing ''Literature/{{It}}''. He was definitely plastered within a half hour, it seems, which made the review even funnier. Especially when [[Series/LostInSpace Dr. Smith]] came in while the Critic was full-on drunk.
-->'''Nostalgia Critic (while trying to shoot Dr. Smith)''':"I'll get you. All five of you."
** In his review of ''Literature/TheLangoliers'', the Critic takes one drink when the film mentions Maine, but he stops after that because "I don't want the hangover."
** When reviewing ''Literature/TheTommyknockers'', he didn't want to participate but offered the home version with beer glasses, pool toys, ball caps, and a talking Mr. Toomey (from Literature/TheLangoliers) action figure.
** He briefly does this in ''Raiders of the Lost Story Arc'' for ''{{WesternAnimation/Ducktales}}''. For every scene that is in the opening alone, take a shot. The end result? 6 shots and a drunk critic.

* [[LetsPlay Lets Player]] LetsPlay/{{Goodbye 18000}} has done a drinking game for [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Big the Cat]] in his ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' LP for the [=PS3=]. The rules involve taking a shot for [[MostAnnoyingSound every time Big says "Froggy"]], [[TooDumbToLive every time Big does something stupid]] and [[GoodBadBugs every time a glitch occurs]]. Although he miscounts the first drink, he fixes it for later parts. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_zWyqhMNFA Part 1 here!]]
* ''LetsPlay/TippingForties'': For every [[LetsPlay LP]] the guys do words are chosen to drink on and each week a few are picked by the [[Website/SomethingAwful SA]] forums. Fans are encouraged to participate at home. At least for the VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia LP this has backfired: [[MagnificentBastard someone]] seems to be playing two hours ahead of the crew in order to pick the words used most often, such as [[MostAnnoyingSound "world" and "Cruxis."]]
* In ''Machinima/TheLeetWorld'' ChristmasEpisode, Leeroy challenges Chet to a drinking game. He tells him to drink every time Chet sees the dreaded [[UsefulNotes/Xbox360 Red Ring of Death]]. Even though Chet drinks non-stop, he hardly lasts 15 ''minutes''.
* The LetsPlay group ''SpoilerWarning'' has an official drinking game (rules vary somewhat depending on the game). When the videos were still vimeo-based, fan-added annotations stating 'drink' would be added whenever it would be appropriate.
** The fans have now created [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Agy-quAatA_9dFIwSlJCMVFEQjVSbTBHNDAzY1pWaGc#gid=0 a spreadsheet]] listing all the drinking moments in the Fallout 3 season, complete with graphs indicating the blood alcohol content and the reasons for drinking. The final episode would have you take 45 drinks by itself.
* ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' featured one for Yahtzee's critique of ''VideoGame/{{Brink}}''. He told the viewers to take a drink every time he mentioned ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' in the review.
* One of the {{Running Gag}}s in ''Website/{{Superdickery}}'' is to take a shot every time Jimmy Olsen gains superpowers or is transformed. If several different Jimmy Olsens are shown on the cover, take one shot for each of them.
** The game "[[HaveANiceDeath ends]]" with the "Planet of a Thousand Jimmies" cover. Have fun!
* Simon suggests two rules for his [[Podcast/TheYoGPoD YoGPoD]] podcast: every time he and Lewis mention Jaffa Cakes, you have to eat a Jaffa Cake. Every time you eat a Jaffa Cake, eat a Jaffa Cake.
* WebVideo/TheFanFictionCritic sometimes plays drinking games during particularly horrendous fanfiction. She's done it whilst reviewing ''Fanfic/FaceTheStrange''.

* ''WebVideo/TheyMadeMeWatchThis'' made a game out of the ''{{Franchise/Barbie}}'' film cliches when reviewing ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInThePrincessAndThePauper''.

-->'''Rules'''
--->1) Drink anytime the interstitial announcer asks, "Would You Like to Learn More?"
--->2) Drink for every [[{{Gorn}} brutal death]] (i.e. lots of gore, dismemberment, impaling)
--->3) Drink every time a character says "bug"
-->'''Finish your drink when'''
--->Carl (Creator/NeilPatrickHarris) says, "It’s afraid…IT’S AFRAID!"

--->'''SF Debris''': It's not a drinking game, though, it's a... [[INeedAFreakingDrink coping mechanism]].
* ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony'''s 19th episode is even named "The Music/DavidBowie Drinking Game", and the opening credits encourage the viewers to take a drink for every reference to David Bowie. Cue Rarity chanting, "Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie Bowie..."
* In the WebVideo/JacksFilms' [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA6687CF25DE17420 "Your Grammar Sucks"]] series,[[note]]He has people send him screencapped comments, and he displays them on-screen as he humorously reads them off[[/note]] starting with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el5rMq0TMUM&list=PLA6687CF25DE17420&index=21 YGS 21]], Jack does a drinking game special once every ten episodes under the bro-dude persona of "Chad Broseph Huntington", where he takes a drink every time he laughs or makes a mistake reading a comment. He messes up quite a lot, as he ''is'' reading comments that are ''supposed'' to be filled with horrible grammar, not to mention that they're also usually pretty funny. One must admire the effort.
* In ''WebVideo/MidnightScreenings'', Irving shot down Jillian's suggestion for doing this every time {{Smurfing}} was done in ''Film/TheSmurfs'' movie. They would be dead in five minutes.
* ''LoadingReadyLive'' has ''[=LoadingReadyLager=], The Official, but not Endorsed'' drinking game constructed by the fans (with some help from the crew). Given the frequency of some of the things on the list, you could very well end up with a bad case of Dead. Rules [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqYR14Ks-1jCdHNlVHhhWkFrbE5mZ0FSZGV3VFhkcnc&usp=drive_web#gid=0 here.]]
* In [[Website/DesuDesBrigade Vixen's]] reviews of ''Anime/RomeoXJuliet'' and ''Film/ThePrincessBride'', she did a drinking game.

** An opponent wins a minigame and he doesn't.

* Creator/AchievementHunter has ''Theater Mode'', their take on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', where the gang copes with watching awful movies by inventing rules to drink to. A counter pops up onscreen each time they take a drink, resulting in them getting pretty sloshed by the end.

* [[LetsPlay Lets Player]] LetsPlay/{{Goodbye 18000}} has done a drinking game for [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Big the Cat]] in his [[SonicAdventureSeries Sonic Adventure]] LP for the [=PS3=].

Although he miscounts the first drink, he fixes it for later parts. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_zWyqhMNFA Part 1 here!]]

* During one episode of ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'', a contestant described the rules he and his buddies had devised for "Drunk Jeopardy". [=DVR=] several episodes, then play along at home -- if you give a wrong answer, drink; if you give a correct answer, everyone else drinks.
