[[caption-width-right:640:Try not to get ''this'' drunk.]]

Here is a drinking game for ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. It is like Instrumentality of the liver......because at the end it will ''liquefy''. For extra fun, try it with orange Tang!

Warning: Some of these are '''more''' prevalent in ''End of Evangelion''.
----
* Any time someone's Mother is mentioned take a shot.
** Take two shots if that Mother is not dead.
*** Insane health risk if you've already watched the series: [[spoiler: you'd have to drink two shots every time Eva units 01 and 02 are mentioned.]] Yeah...have fun with that. To make matters worse [[spoiler: due to the whole Eva thing, neither Shinji's or Asuka's mother are technically dead. Meaning that nearly every mother reference in the whole series]] needs two shots.
* Take a shot every time you see an obvious phallic, breast, or vaginal symbol.
* Take a shot every time a [[FauxSymbolism random ]][[RuleOfSymbolism religious symbol]] shows up.
** Take two shots if the religious symbol is not a cross.
*** Take three if it's the Tree of Life (the Sephira).
*** That's at least 5 shots an episode (Sephira and Kabbalah in the OP), plus 2 more for each time we see Gendo's office (Kabbalah on the ceiling).
* If you're really brave, take a sip whenever [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl Misato]] does. (Use this rule at your own risk)
* Take a shot every time Shinji says that [[MadnessMantra he mustn't run away]].
** Take a shot every (second) time you see Shinji angst. Take one for every time you think he's [[{{Wangst}} being too over-the-top with it]]. '''*Warning: Only perform if you have high alcohol tolerance. Fatal otherwise.*'''
* For a [[TheTeetotaler teetotaler]], take a shot whenever Gendo praises Shinji.
* Take a shot whenever Gendo undergoes CharacterDevelopment (You'll stay sober until episode 21. After then....)
* Every time there's a close up of the [[FingerTenting Gendo Pose]] or Gendo fixing his glasses, take a shot.
* Take a shot every time Asuka says "Anta baka?!"/"What are you, stupid?!". (Have fun with Episode 11.)
* Take a shot every time someone screams. [[SchmuckBait Best of luck to you]].
** Whenever Shinji screams, take ''two'' shots.
* Take a shot whenever the show's low budget becomes obvious (shots over ten seconds with little animation, or no animation at all). GainaxEnding will test your liver on this.
* Take a shot every time [[CreepyChild Rei]] [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl is naked]].
** Take two shots if she is naked without a clear justification. Fair warning, ''End of Evangelion'' may kill you.
* Take a shot every time Rei tries to kill herself. [[Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned You'll likely be joining her around the time the first one takes.]]
* For a teetotaler, take a shot whenever a plot element is explained in an [[MindScrewdriver accessible manner.]] IMPORTANT NOTE: Doing this during ''EOE'' will likely keep you sober.
* For a teetotaler, take two shots whenever Shinji is smiling or happy. (Will also keep you sober during ''EOE'').
* Take a shot whenever Shinji cries. You'll be pissed drunk ''before'' TheMovie!
* When Shinji masturbates in ''EOE'', start chugging and don't stop until you see the fluid that shall not be named on his palm.
* Take a shot every time [[spoiler: someone congratulates Shinji. Episode 26 will kill you.]]
* For a teetotaler, take a shot every time Shinji actually runs away.
* Take a shot everytime Ritsuko declares something happening to be "Impossible!" or some variation thereof.
