7	...So we'll provide alternative rules for you to pick and choose from. It's time for a DRINKING GAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!
8	----
9	!!In general:
10	* In regards to Boomstick, take a shot for each of the following:
11	** His ex-wife or [[DisappearedDad Disappeared (Step-)Dad(s)]] gets mentioned. Be wary of Goro Vs Machamp, and Hulk Vs Broly where each one is brought up often respectively. And just flat out avoid Macho Man Vs Kool-Aid Man where the whole episode revolves around Boomstick finding his dad.
12	** He mentions or drinks beer.
13	** He cracks a crude joke.
14	*** Take another shot when the subject it refers to isn't female.
15	** A jab he makes at Wiz's expense.
16	** He references his degree in poultry science.
17	** He pronounces the word "ghost" as "Ghooooost".
18	** He acts as a test dummy for one of Wiz's experiments and/or a combatant's powers.
19	* Meanwhile for DUMMI, take a shot for each of the following:
20	** Whenever he's used for an experiment.
21	** He's accidentally tested on (i.e. Wiz's reincarnation experiment in Korra Vs Storm)
22	** Whenever he's not a part of an experiment when he's onscreen.
23	** [[DeathSeeker When he states he eagerly awaits to be experimented on again.]]
24	** Whenever an experiment actually destroys him.
25	* Take a shot for each time a character you like dies.
26	** Down the bottle in sorrow if your preferred character is on the receiving end of a CurbStompBattle.
27	*** Double down if the verdict calls them something along the lines of "Powerful in their own right"
28	** Take two if you've favored said character to win over the opposing character.
29	*** Have a long, stiff drink if you expected your favored character to dish out a CurbStompBattle.
30	* Take a shot in victory for each time a character you hate dies.
31	** Down the bottle if said character is on the receiving end of a CurbStompBattle.
32	* Take a shot for every horrific thing a villain does.
33	* Take a shot for each "Next Time on Death Battle..."
34	** Take two shots if it features a character you'd really like to see.
35	*** Three if it's a specific matchup you'd really like to see.
36	*** Take a scornful sip if they only mention one of the fighters.
37	*** Finish the drink in dated confusion if it's the promotion made for [=ScrewAttack's=] series ''The Industry'' from the end of Yang Vs Tifa.
38	* Take a sip every time Wiz says the word, "technically".
39	* Drink for as many seconds as the digits of whatever mathematical calculations are made in order to come up with a feasible number for a feat. (For example, Goku's power level is over 9000? Drink for four seconds.)
40	** Warning, do not use this rule for the Mega Man Battle Royale. For reference, the number there? Three novemdecillion. 60 zeroes. This rule is also not advisable for Ben 10 vs. Green Lantern, where the number in question has 69 zeroes. Might as well be a suicide. And stay away from Hulk Vs Broly where the number hits duovigintillion! (71 zeroes for reference!)
41	* Take a shot for each callback to Goku vs. Superman.
42	* Take a sip for every ability, weapon, or weakness the hosts point out that doesn't get used in the battle. May require rewatching or keeping your own list.
43	** Take a five second gulp if you think the hosts made an error in regards to a character's ability.
44	*** Down the bottle if the above factors led to your favored character to lose, while you bash out an angry comment on the keyboard.
45	*** Take a pull from the bottle if you see a comment mentioning that the battle is just a dramatization and doesn't decide the winner.
46	* Take a shot every time someone mentions something that's "[[CrazyEnoughToWork so crazy, it just might work.]]"
47	* Take a shot when a character gets KO'ed. (Warning, don't use this rule during Robotnik Vs Wily, Leon S. Kennedy vs Frank West, or Red vs Blue, unless any of them is the only match you're watching tonight.)
48	* Take a sip whenever Boomstick mentions a weapon that he'd like to have, whether it came up in the battle or not. (Ex: The baby Launcher from Yoshi vs Riptor.)
49	* When a character is healing (Link v Cloud, Tails), drink until they stop healing.
50	* Dismemberment/Causes of death:
51	** For every [[AnArmAndALeg arm]] lost, take 1 shot. NOTE: Take caution with this rule when watching [[MultiArmedAndDangerous Goro Vs Machamp]]
52	** For every [[AnArmAndALeg leg]] lost, take 2 shots.
53	** For [[OffWithHisHead decapi]][[YourHeadASplode tation]], drink until the K.O. appears. NOTE: [[SincerityMode don't follow this rule if the decapitation doesn't end the fight]], such as when the episode is a Battle Royale/team battle or the victim has a HealingFactor strong enough to recover from it, like the TMNT battle royale, Guts vs Nightmare, Ultron vs Sigma, Ganondorf vs Dracula, Deadpool vs Mask, Red vs Blue, Hulk vs Broly, Hercules vs Sun Wukong, Bill Cipher vs Discord, or Scooby-Doo vs Courage.
54	** If the combatant gets [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bifurcated]], down the bottle.
55	** If the combatant gets [[LudicrousGibs blown to bits]], down the bottle.
56	*** As a middle ground between the above two, if a combatant is sliced/blown into a discernible number of parts, take a shot for every part. (i.e., if the character is sliced into five bits, take five shots)
57	** If the combatant [[NoBodyLeftBehind doesn't leave behind a body]], drink until the K.O. appears. NOTE: [[SincerityMode don't follow this rule when this happens to Volnutt or Rock in the Mega Man battle royale, Lobo's Clones in Ghost Rider vs Lobo, The Deep in The Seven battle royale, or one of the Goku Blacks or Reverse-Flashes in Goku Black Vs Reverse-Flash (except the last Black).]]
58	** If the combatant gets {{impaled\|WithExtremePrejudice}}, down the bottle.
59	** For a NeckSnap, drink until the K.O. appears. NOTE: [[SincerityMode don't follow this rule when watching Red vs Blue.]]
60	** If the combatant has his soul eaten or vaporized, down the bottle.
61	** If the combatant gets incinerated, drink until the K.O. appears.
62	** If a character survives and wins a match [[WhoNeedsTheirWholeBody despite taking ANY of these injuries]] without healing it back (i.e. Samurai Jack, Might Guy, Esdeath, Machamp, Boba Fett, etc.), finish the drink.
63	* Take a shot every time Wiz mentions [[FantasyMetals a metal stronger and lighter than titanium.]]
64	** Take another one if he gets annoyed by it.
65	* Take a shot whenever a character's power has "no defined limit".
66	** Take two if the limit is canonically defined.

68	*** Take three if the canonically defined limit is "limitless".
69	*** Take four if the fans themselves do the same thing.
70	*** Down the bottle if you see the term "No-Limits Fallacy"
71	** Take 3 shots if a character's stat is outright said to be incalculable (Such as Wally West and Archie Sonic's speed stats in their episode)
72	* Take a big sip every time Wiz says, "X may have had the advantage in Y, but Z had the advantage everywhere else."
73	** Drink the whole bottle and smash it to pieces if that's not the case.
74	* Take a shot whenever one of the hosts says "brute strength" or "brute force". Combined with the above, if Y in the above circumstance ''is'' "brute strength" or "brute force", finish your bottle.
75	* Take a large drink if Wiz says some variation of "Common misconception" or "That's a myth".
76	* Take a sip if Wiz says, at the end of a match, that both combatants had equal footing or were evenly matched before explaining what led to the winner's favor.
77	* Take a quick sip if any of the combatants are stated to be faster/more agile than their opponents.
78	** Take a drink if the faster character loses a Death Battle. One extra if it's against someone who focuses on strength or brute force.
79	** Take a big sip if the faster character wins their Death Battle.
80	* Take a shot when Wiz says in the aftermath that the matchup is a close fight.
81	* Take a drink if the sturdier character wins.
82	** Conversely, take a big sip if the sturdier character loses.

84	* Take a shot when Boomstick gets himself injured in any way.
85	* Take a shot if a character who is dead in his or her original canon loses.
86	* Take a shot if a villain loses to a hero. Note: Ryu vs Jin Kazama (straight-up hero kills a morally-gray antihero), Samurai Jack vs Afro Samurai (straight-up hero kills a sociopath), Wario vs King Dedede (the former is generally more antagonistic than the latter), and Beerus vs Sailor Galaxia (antihero kills a straight-up villain) are ambiguous examples.
87	** Conversely, take three shots if a hero loses to a villain. Ryu vs Scorpion (the latter's alignment varies compared to the former being a straight-up hero), Godzilla vs Gamera (anti-hero kills a straight-up hero), and Sephiroth vs Vergil (the former being more antagonistic than the latter) are ambiguous examples.
88	* Take a shot everytime the sponsor of an episode is ''Blue Apron''.
89	* If a character is launched into either [[HurlItIntoTheSun the sun]] or the moon, take a shot. Finish the drink if the battle results in either damaging or destroying either or both of them.
90	* If an episode uses a calculation/feat from a previous episode (Such as Goku and Beerus' shockwaves, X and Zero defeating the General who stopped a planet-destroying beam), take a drink. Take an extra drink for each additional time it had shown up prior to this one.
