5At least in North America and most of western Europe, the university system tends to lead to people having a lot of free time, communal televisions, and access to alcohol.
6
7The audience drinking game is an ancient and much-respected system for trope identification that evolved out of these factors. In the days before resources such as this catalogue, the drinking game was the most popular and accessible means of identifying tropes and cliches.
8
9It works like this: each regular occurrence in a show, film, etc is documented, and assigned a numeric score based on its prevalence, triteness, or perversity. During a viewing of the show, each time such a documented phenomenon occurs, players drink a number of sips of their preferred alcoholic beverage equal to the numeric score. A non-alcoholic beverage of your choice may also be substituted.
10
11This may be used in fiction to make fun of another work, or just to have an excuse for the characters to drink. In the former case, the characters may [[DeadpanSnarker comment]] that anyone actually attempting the game would quickly end up stinking drunk, passed out, or in need of medical intervention.

13See JustForFun.DrinkingGame for fan-based examples, or to add your own. Also see DrinkingGame.TVTropesWikiDrinkingGame for one of the most JustForFun/{{egregious}} examples on the interwebs. Also, visit our DrinkingGame.FanWorks if [[SelfDemonstratingArticle you want to end up passed-out blind drunk]].
14
15There is a similar, non-alcoholic form of this in joke TabletopGame/{{Bingo}} boards dedicated to a certain subject (show, debate, etc), where each square represents a trope or buzzword commonly associated with that subject. There are also a lot of card-based drinking games with NoUnifiedRuleset (after all, the exact rules are not that important when the goal is to get drunk).
16
17This is distinct from DrinkingContest. Drinking contests are generally about alcoholic endurance - how much one can drink before getting noticeably impaired. Drinking games are straight up about getting drunk.

24* 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!'".
25* 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.

32** 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!*]]

40"HEAT SINKS!"\
41"That's very annoying."\

43* In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4545504/1/Aspirations Aspirations]]'' mentions the Slytherins used to have a drinking game based on Ron and Hermione bickering. Snape had to ban it due to all the alcohol poisoning.
44* The ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'' has this suggested for a game at Fluttercruel's Cute-Ceañera.

60* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14196786/1/Cry-for-Help Cry for Help]]'':
61-->'''Harry:''' Yea, Blaise and Theo mentioned [Draco] wasn't very popular after trying to order Flint in his first year or screaming wait until my father hears about this.\
62'''Terence:''' That's putting it lightly. They made a drinking game of how many times he said that to an older year. Graham and Adrian ended up with alcohol poisoning once. Marcus of course out drank everyone and got up early to scream us onto the Quidditch pitch for training the next morning.
63* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11840431/1/The-Drinking-Game The Drinking Game]]'' the eighth-year Slytherins decide to make a drinking game out of how often Draco mentions Harry. All but one of them eventually pass out.

76* The ''Film/{{Showgirls}}'' UpdatedRerelease includes a drinking game designed by the producers for their own film.

83[[folder:Literature]]
84* In the Creator/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.
85* ''Literature/AmericaTheBook'' gives a few to play while watching C-SPAN:
86** "''Asshole''", whereby a politician rebuts with something like "What my honorable opponent fails to realize..." in such a cadence you know he really means to imply yelling "Asshole!" at the other guy in a false display of courtesy.
87** Divide into teams amongst yourselves, the "yeas" and the "nays". As a congressional vote is being tallied, players drink each time a new "yay" or "nay" is cast for their respective side. Landslides could lead to liver failure. The other team has to drink if you can correctly identify the Vivaldi movement playing over the voting footage.
88** There's one with involving sightings of the late Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) caught napping, eye-rolling or wheezing on camera, with [[{{Calvinball}} convoluted]] [[OverlyLongGag rules]] as to what each player must do.

94* While not an audience drinking game, one episode of ''Series/{{Workaholics}}'' opens with Ders presenting his invention called 'booze chess', with mini alcohol bottles as chess pieces.

95* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'':
96** Marshall invented a game Marshgammon that has a rule where anyone who answers "What?" must drink a shot.

98** One episode shows that morning show host Robin Scherbatsky is very popular among students in Ted's class, but only because they have a drinking game going where they take a shot every time she says "But, um..." Robin turns the game back on them by saying "but, um" numerous times, forcing the drinkers to get completely drunk and sick.
99* An episode of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' had fun with this, with Chris Elliott and Creator/ChrisFarley [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh9pZWCd8MU playing "Hi Bob"]] (A drinking game invented by watchers of ''Series/TheBobNewhartShow'' where you drink every time somebody says "Hi Bob") backstage... with Bob Newhart himself standing there. It gets worse when Bob ends up having a discussion with another cast member about said drinking game in the player's hearing. Since you can't discuss "Hi Bob" without saying "Hi Bob"...[[note]]For the record, the phrase is said 21 times over the course of four minutes, with Chris Elliot losing his legs after the twentieth shot[[/note]]
100** In the 2008 vice presidential debate sketch, Sarah Palin (Tina Fey) indicates that she's aware that there's a drinking game of her saying the word "Maverick."

102* ''Series/TheColbertReport'' website provided a "decoder sheet" for one Presidential debate, somewhere between a drinking game and Debate Bingo. Drink triggers included '[=McCain=] makes war veteran face' and anyone mentioning Main Street.
103** The official ''[[Series/TheColbertReport Colbert Report]]'' drinking game, [[http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/181231/november-28-2005/stephen-settles-the-debate---science-vs--faith as proposed in an early episode]], is "Take one drink every time Stephen criticizes America."

107* In one ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' episode commentary, Michael Weatherly repeatedly pointed out when those playing at home should drink.

109* In an episode of ''Series/StorageWars'', one of the pickers says that she and her husband have a drinking game, taking a shot for every time the auctioneer's wife says "Folks." For the rest of the episode, every time she says "folks," a little beer appears in the right-hand corner of the screen.
110* ''Series/{{Survivor}}: Back from the Outback'' had a really good one. Just prior to a commercial break, Jenna Lewis groused about Elisabeth's tears, "It's like a drinking game!" Elisabeth cries, take a drink. Jenna said she was annoyed by this, probably forgetting the fact that she was prone to crying fits herself.
111* ''Series/ThatMitchellAndWebbLook'' demonstrates why this isn't always a good idea:
112-->'''David Mitchell''': I can't help but feel that the company wouldn't ''need'' to seek a merger ("Wahey!") if we hadn't adopted as company policy the idea of downing a glass of rare vintage claret every time someone says "merger". ("Wahey!")
113* In the short-lived ''Series/That70sShow'' spinoff, ''Series/That80sShow'', there was a scene where several characters were watching ''Series/{{Dynasty|1981}}'', and one suggests that they all take a shot every time someone gets slapped.

114* At the 2011 SAG Awards, [[Film/{{Bridesmaids}} Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Melissa McCarthy]] discussed and displayed their Creator/MartinScorsese DrinkingGame.

115* ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'' has the bar Pavlov's, named for the scientist who researched classical conditioning with his infamous dog. There's a drinking game showing the bar is aptly named. Whenever the bell at the bar is rung, everyone has to bark and take shot. When Charlie and Alan ring a doorbell later that night, they both can't help but bark.
116* A ''Series/{{MASH}}'' episode has Hawkeye and Trapper playing checkers with full shot glasses and sake cups as the game pieces, which they down shots from as each gets captured.

118* In the Series 3 ''Series/MadeInCanada'' episode "Beaver Creek: The Movie", the characters of ShowWithinAShow ''Beaver Creek'' are unamused to learn that there is a drinking game based around ''Beaver Creek'', with rules including a shot of tequila whenever Adele says "The beaver are in the creek", a Black Russian whenever Parson Hubbard says "God willing", and a B-52 when the parson tips his hat. Made worse in the cast's eyes by the fact that the drinking game was devised not by university students, but by employees of Pyramid, the company that produces ''Beaver Creek''.
119* In one episode of ''Series/ModernFamily'', Cam says he's created a new drinking game "Every time I'm depressed, I take a drink." Mitch tells him that game already exists, "It's called alcoholism."

127* Simon suggests two rules for ''Podcast/TheYoGPoD'' 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.

132[[/folder]]
133
134[[folder:Radio]]
135* ''Creator/TheBrewingNetwork'''s drunk of the week award, which usually involved contestants giving their drinking resume, telling them what they act like when drunk or encouraging stupid behavior. This was dropped as a regular contest for about a year, as taking the calls and deciding a winner became a chore to do. It has been replaced by people competing for the prize by leaving funny voicemail messages while drunk.
136[[/folder]]

139* 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.

The word Choice proceeds to come up multiple times due to both the presentation itself and the guys just trying to get the others drunk.
144* In the Scottish television gaming programme ''{{Series/Consolevania}}'', the presenters Rab and Ryan invented the ''VideoGame/{{Shenmue}}'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-XVp-U9-hw Drinking Game]], where you must take a drink every time Ryo Hazuki says 'I see', at any point in the games. In the programme it ends up with Rab pished after one drink ("fuckin' lightweight, always has been") and Ryan with his trousers down trying to get a taxi in Glasgow.
145* ''VideoGame/BenThereDanThat'' has three Britons in the authentic British pub, The Limey, in the Eagleland dimension. Their game is to down a glass whenever someone says "Come on England!".

180* [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/drinking-games Drinking Games]], an old series by Creator/{{Firefilm}} did this with video games.
181* [[http://www.alcohollywood.com/all-episodes/ Alcohollywood]] has nearly ''three-dozen'' movie drinking games, plus drink recipes. Example from the ''Film/StarshipTroopers'' episode:
182-->'''Rules'''\
1831) Drink anytime the interstitial announcer asks, "Would You Like to Learn More?"\
1842) Drink for every [[{{Gorn}} brutal death]] (i.e. lots of gore, dismemberment, impaling)\
1853) Drink every time a character says "bug"\
186'''Finish your drink when'''\
187Carl (Creator/NeilPatrickHarris) says, "It's afraid... IT'S AFRAID!"
188* ''ARG/TheWallWillFall'' has a official Drinking Game now!
189* ''Website/SFDebris'': SF Debris had several hilarious Drinking Games mentioned in his reviews.
190** When reviewing the pilot of ''Series/GameOfThrones'', his drinking game has two rules: 1) "Severed head! Take a drink." 2) "Naked girl! Take a drink." Hilariously, he ends up acting drunk at the end and mixes scripts as he throws in a discussion of philosophy of ''Film/TheMatrix'', which was the subject of SF Debris' previous review.
191** He suggests one in his review of "Spock's Brain" from ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'': Drink for every TitleDrop. He is even courteous enough to inform us how many times it happens. Fifteen, if you were wondering.
192** Subverted for ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'''s "The 37s": Takes a drink every time Brannon Braga deems something as "ancient".
193--->'''SF Debris:''' It's not a drinking game, though, it's a... [[INeedAFreakingDrink coping mechanism]].
194* ''Website/DesuDesBrigade'': In Vixen's reviews of ''Anime/RomeoXJuliet'' and ''Film/ThePrincessBride'', she did a drinking game. In ''Romeo x Juliet'', she took a shot every time the anime deviates from the original play. In ''The Princess Bride'', she took a shot every time a memorable line from the movie is uttered. In the latter, she's completely drunk by the end.
195* Website/YourLogicalFallacyIs sells a card set, in which three of the cards are games. Two are modified drinking games, specifically. They are:
196** What's that fallacy? Read out the example on the bottom of a blue fallacy card. If the first person to speak correctly identifies the card, you must take a drink. If they get it wrong, everyone else must take a drink, then the next player draws a card.
197** The impaired thinking game.Lay all 24 fallacy cards out. Watch a faux news channel, political debate, etc. The first person to vocally identify a fallacy can nominate someone else to drink. Repeat until equilibrium of idiocy with what you're watching is achieved.

200[[folder:Web Videos]]
201* ''Webvideo/TheMusicVideoShow'' did this on an episode, taking a drink for every hip-hop cliche in that episode's music video.
202-->[[CantHoldHisLiquor "This music video is blaaaaaaand!"]]
203* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick has started doing drinking games, beginning with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcxCAXdxCZM 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).
204* ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'':
205** 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.)
206** 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.
207** 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.
208** In his 200th review special Linkara suggests in the credits that viewers take a shot every time he says something is "pointless."
209** 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.
210* WebVideo/StuartAshen provides one for the viewer in the description of his Barcode Battler review.
211-->"Take a shot every time I say "Right," and "...or something." Alcohol poisoning may ensue."
212* ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'':
213** He 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.
214--->'''Nostalgia Critic:''' ''[while trying to shoot Dr. Smith]'' I'll get you. All five of you.
215** 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."
216** 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.
217** He briefly does this in ''Raiders of the Lost Story Arc'' for ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987''. For every scene that is in the opening alone, take a shot. The end result? Six shots and a drunk critic.
218* [[LetsPlay Lets Player]] LetsPlay/Goodbye18000 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 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!]]
219* ''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 "world" and "Cruxis."
220* ''LetsPlay/SpoilerWarning'':
221** This LetsPlay group has an official drinking game (rules vary somewhat depending on the game). When the videos were still Platform/{{Vimeo}}-based, fan-added annotations stating 'drink' would be added whenever it would be appropriate.
222** 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.
223* WebVideo/TheFanFictionCritic sometimes plays drinking games during particularly horrendous fanfiction. She's done it whilst reviewing ''Fanfic/FaceTheStrange''.
224* ''WebVideo/TheyMadeMeWatchThis'' made a game out of the ''{{Franchise/Barbie}}'' film cliches when reviewing ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsThePrincessAndThePauper''.
225* 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.
226* 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.
227* ''WebVideo/LoadingReadyRunStreams'' 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.]]
228* The Black History Month [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfnKQlLsw4k Drinking Game]] on [=FusionX=].
229* LetsPlay/TomFawkes does a drinking game for the original ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' on a Website/{{Twitch}} stream. He would drink each time that the following occured:
230** Someone lands on Chance Time, Happening, or Bowser space.
231** An opponent gets a star.
232** An opponent wins a minigame and he doesn't.
233** A [[ThatOneLevel control-stick spinning minigame]] comes up.
234* ''WebVideo/AnalystBroniesReact'': It turns out Thespio had been making one of the word "Reputation" during the ''Friendship Games'' video.
235* 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.
236* ''WebVideo/ComicTropes'': Most of the time, a trope results in one swig of alcohol. There are a few videos without this rule, such as the Creator/StanLee video where one trope equalled one mile to walk.
237* Starting with ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'', Creator/TeamFourStar turned their play-throughs of SoulsLikeRPG titles into drinking games; they take a drink every time they die, every time they defeat a unique enemy, and [[RuleOfFunny any time it would be funny]]. Surprisingly, they still manage to beat the games despite being absolutely stinking drunk.
238* ''WebVideo/{{Highcraft}}'': Without the drinking. The challenge map playthroughs are basically drinking games with weed - for every objective completed, players take a bong rip, and if they die and need to be teleported back, that's another one.
239* ''WebVideo/SMPLive'': As outlined by Cooper in [[https://youtu.be/QZfpYr6qhnY?si=BRUd1eqAxxDIfVXu "Drinking and Killing CaptainSparklez"]]...
240--> '''Cooper:''' Death by pigman is a big drink. You see [[RunningGag Schlatt walkin']]? That's a shot. You get a hit, that's a shot, you fail a hit, you take another one.

243[[folder:Western Animation]]
244* ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' ended (and began) an episode with the characters actually watching the show and drinking whenever someone did something gay. Naturally, everybody is completely smashed by the end.
245* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
246** Stewie has one for ''Series/TheOC'':
247-->'''Stewie:''' We can drink every time Ryan seethes!
248** In 'The Perfect Castaway' the guys are all playing INever. By the end of it Quagmire has drank nearly all the beer by himself, is close to passing out and the guys are struggling to think of things that won't cause him to drink.
249* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' suggests this in the opening of one episode: "When you see the robot, drink!"
250* The Region 1 [=DVD=] of ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'' includes a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_OUp5u7Jms drinking game]].
251* A classic episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', "Homer At The Bat":
252-->'''Umpire:''' Okay, let's go over the ground rules. You can't leave first until you chug a beer. Any man scoring has to chug a beer. You have to chug a beer at the top of all odd-numbered innings. Oh, and the fourth inning is the beer inning.
253-->'''Chief Wiggum:''' ''[annoyed]'' Hey, we know how to play softball!
254** Another episode had Homer, Lenny, and Carl at the bar, watching the news and deciding to take a drink every time someone says the word "senator". It then shows Moe calling the news station to report two senators making out.
