[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: General ]]

* Take a six-pack when you see a brand new example on the top of the page.
* Take a mouthful for every new trope article that gets started without being first run through YKTTW.
** If said article is actually worth keeping around, rather than instant CutList fodder, finish that bottle off.
* Take a sip every time a troper puts "enough said" rather than an actual context.
**Two sips if you don't get it.
***Three if you do.
**** Four if you do and it's wrong.
**** [[XJustX Five...just five]].
***** SoYeah...
* Take a sip for every trope page with a header quote from:
** Anything by JossWhedon
*** If it's from DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog, take three sips instead.
** Anything by WilliamShakespeare
** ''AvatarTheLastAirbender''
** ''TheDarkKnight''
** DaveBarry
** ''{{Discworld}}''
** ''DoctorWho''
** ''{{Futurama}}''
** ''GunnerkriggCourt''
** ''HomestarRunner''
** ''KimPossible''
** ''MysteryScienceTheater3000''
** ''OrderOfTheStick''
** RogerEbert
** ''{{Scrubs}}''
** ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' (two if the context is a crowning moment).
** ''ThatGuyWithTheGlasses''
** ''TheSimpsons''
** TheyMightBeGiants
** ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series}}''
*** Drown your sorrows at the lack of originality whenever there's a "Screw X, I Y" YKTTW or Trope that has nothing to do with the Abridged Series.
** ''ZeroPunctuation''
*** Hold it in your mouth, spit it up and drink it again if the page quote also appears, paraphrased, in the examples section.
*** Take two sips if you see it's been removed and then put back up again, and another two if the discussion page contains a FlameWar on the merits or otherwise of Yahtzee.
*** Three sips if the header quote also has a link to a different trope.
**** And a mouthful if that quote illustrates the linked trope better than it illustrates the trope of the page it's on.
***** The entire bottle if it's already the page quote for that link.
* Take a sip from two glasses at the same time if any two of the page's quotes have inconsistent indentation.
* Pour your drink into another glass and take a sip if the page contains a link to [[TVTropesWikiDrinkingGame itself]].
* Take a sip for every example that [[NotASubversion misuses]] the words "[[SubvertedTrope subverted]]", "[[InvertedTrope inverted]]", "[[AvertedTrope averted]]", or "[[JustifiedTrope justified]]".
** Use a sippy straw if the word partially comes before one of those words.
* Take a sip every time a trope is subverted "brutally" or "painfully".
* Take a sip when something is said to be "{{Lampshaded}}" because a trope was simply ''mentioned'' in the work, but not because it was actually pointed out in an attempt to hide it.
* Take a sip for every {{Pot Hole}}d TakeThat.
** Take two sips for every plain old un-{{Pot Hole}}d Take That.
** Take three sips every time someone {{Pot Hole}}s to TakeThat for a completely unwarranted reason (wow, this'll happen a lot...)
*** [[TakeThat That means "take a sip"]], for those of you in the cheap seats.
*** Three sips. [[HypocriticalHumor Recursively]]
* Make someone else take a sip if they look at this from behind your back.
* Take a sip for every article that references AppliedPhlebotinum, LampshadeHanging, TheOldestOnesInTheBook or some other [[TropesOfLegend essential piece of wiki lore]] ''without'' linking to the relevant article.
* Take a sip while tilting your head sideways every time somebody doesn't ''italicise'' a series title. Then correct it.
* Take a sip every time you see a trope red-texted by a misspelling; then correct it.
** And then take another sip, because, being stone-drunk from playing the game ([[TheGame you just lost it]], by the way), it'll be even ''more'' horribly misspelled.
** Chug when accidental (and unnecessarily-spaced) red text is created by a non-trope word -- like McDonald.
* And speaking of TheGame...take a sip every time you lose. Then take another if a particular mention of TheGame also mentions [[http://xkcd.com/391/ the liberating xkcd strip]].
* Shout "Kanpai!" and take a sip every time somebody uses the Japanese name for an {{anime}} or {{manga}} instead of the English name.
** Take a guzzle for every ''article'' with the untranslated Japanese name.
* If you're American, take a sip every time you see British spelling; if you follow British spelling, take half a sip every time you see American spelling. Take two every time you read a trope that has both 'colour' and 'color' in it. If it has both 'cheque' and 'check', hold a glass high and sing "Rule, Britannia!" or "America the Beautiful" (whichever one you don't live in).
** Getting your friends and / or family to join in is optional.
** If you don't live in either, sing both, one after the other, in whatever order you choose.
*** If you're Australian, sing 'Advance Australia Fair', and then switch midway into 'Waltzing Matilda' when you realise you don't know half the worlds of the national anthem.
** Alternatively, sing "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" if British, and "God Save the Queen" if American.
*** Pointless trivia: The title of the American version is "America." (Also, take a drink whenever someone corrects a comment in a new bullet instead of just correcting the original comment.)
** If you're Canadian, take a drink for both American and British spelling. You use both, you drink to both. And then sing either national anthem.
*** Or your own, in both official languages.
*** Drink another time if you are able to sing it in Inuktitut.
** Then take a sip for every time someone mixes up ''you're'' and ''your''. Not for any good reason, just because it's the only way to deal with it.
* Take a sip every time ThisTroper shows up to give a very subjective opinion and/or relate an anecdote from their own life (and you're not in TroperTales).
** Drink the whole glass if another ThisTroper replies to agree/disagree with the opinion or to say that something similar happened to them, too.
** Take another sip if "This Troper" is actually a pothole link to someone's contributor page.
** Take two sips if ThisTroper relates how shocked, SHOCKED, they are that an example from their favorite series hasn't already been added.
*** Take three sips if ThisTroper was right to expect said example to be mentioned sooner.
*** Finish the bottle if said example ''has'' been mentioned already.
*** Two bottles if ''you'' were the one to add the example and forgot about it.
*** Three if ''has'' been mentioned before and the reason it's not there anymore was because ''it wasn't a real example''.
*** Four if you haven't yet died of alcohol poisoning.
**** For the personal safety of those who actually want to ''try'' this drinking game, change "bottle" in the above four steps to "glass". And for that matter, omit the last one entirely.
**** If you don't care about the personal safety of those trying this drinking game, suggest they trade up. If they want to try it with beer, suggest Jack Daniels as an alternative. If they want to try it with Jack Daniels, suggest absinthe. If they want to try it with absinthe, call the men in the white coats.
** However you're playing, double your intake if there's a PotHole to ''{{Casablanca}}'' when the troper is talking about how shocked they are.
* Take a sip every time a troper [[{{Natter}} replies to]] and contradicts a previous troper in a trope example. Then correct it.
** Actually, you're supposed to bang two glasses together and sip once from each.
*** To be fair, it was originally correct until some troper edited this entry for the lulz.
*** "What are you talking about? [[DisContinuity Those edits never happened!]]"
* Take a drink for every example that consists of "[[TwoWords Two words]]: ".
** Also take a drink for each example that consists of ". Full Stop."
** Also drink for "X has this in spades". Especially if there's nothing else there.
** Also drink for "X is the king of this trope". Two if it's "the ''undisputed'' king of this trope".
** Also drink if it's "XJustX".
** Take two drinks if the X is a potholed quote or character name rather than a title.
** Drain your glass if you can't actually puzzle out what exactly is being referred to without mouse-overing the link.
*** And pour yourself another if you still can't figure out what the two "obvious" words mean when you ''have'' viewed the pothole. Same if there ''is'' no pothole.
*** Take a sip if it links to TwoWordsObviousTrope or XJustX.
*** Drink the bottle if you figured it out and feel superior for it.
** Drink the bottle if it's ''really'' three words.
* Take a drink if an example that has 'Where to start?' or 'Where to begin?' followed by a long list of examples under it.
* Take a sip if you have to uncover a spoiler in order to understand why a certain example is on the trope page.
** Take three sips if it's an anime series.
** Drain the whole glass if it's something you actually ''have'' seen.
* Chug if the fact that a series is mentioned on a certain page is a spoiler by itself.
** Chug again if the spoilery information implied by the series' mere presence is spelled out in a spoiler, as if you couldn't figure it out from " has an example of ".
** Chug again if if the example is [[spoiler: entirely spoiler-tagged]].
* If any spoiler reveals something you ''really'' didn't want spoiled, give a BigNo, then immediately drink yourself into unconsciousness. When you wake up with a hangover the following morning, you ''might'' no longer remember the offending spoiler!
* Take a sip for every trope that's identified as an anime-specific trope (either in the article itself, or because the article is solely indexed under AnimeTropes) even though its list of Western examples is as long or longer than the list of anime examples.
* Chug a glass of water if one of the page's category bars has no "next" or "previous" links.
*[[#imageoverdosed]] Take a sip for every trope page with an image from:
** ''SuzumiyaHaruhi'' ('''33''')
*** Take two sips when the picture is not of something that actually happened in the series.
*** Take two sips if it features Mikuru being groped or otherwise harassed by Haruhi.
** ''StarWars'' (31, probably more)
** ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' (24 [[OutOfTheInferno and 1/3]])
*** Take two sips when the picture came from a FanWebComic.
** ''MahouSenseiNegima'' (20)
*** Two sips if the image in question isn't on a {{Fanservice}}-related page.
** ''CodeGeass'' (17)
** ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' (16)
** ''{{Tsukihime}}'' (14)
*** Two sips if the image quote is "Isn't it sad, Sacchin? ;_;"
** ''LuckyStar'' (14)
*** Two sips if it's of Anime Tenchou.
** ''{{Warhammer 40000}}'' (12)
** ''AzumangaDaioh'' (11)
** ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'' (11)
** ''OrderOfTheStick'' (11)

** ''MagicTheGathering'' (10)
** ''HayateTheCombatButler'' (9)
** ''RanmaOneHalf'' (9)
** ''ShakuganNoShana'' (8)
** ''GunnerkriggCourt'' (8, and [[MetaFour one]] contributor page)
** ''SetoNoHanayome'' (8)
** ''RoseOfVersailles'' (8)
** a FauxtivationalPoster (24)
* Take a swig whenever the image is completely meaningless to you.
* Take a sip for every image without a link to the page of the series it came from. Then fix it, if possible.
* Take a sip from someone else's glass for every image not hosted on TVTropes.
** Drink the whole glass if it now shows a "no hotlinking" image.
* Take a sip when you see an image you've seen on another page.
* Take a sip when an image's caption says the character in it is "this trope's patron saint".
** Take a sip when an image "shows us how it's done".
* Take a sip for every time is invoked, and an extra one if the description of the -worthy element is potholed to that page.
** Take a long drink every time, because "I Am Not Making This Up" is no longer a wiki-link, sentences like the above now seem to be missing a very key phrase.
** A shorter one if it just leads to a broken pothole (visible brackets).
* Take a sip for every phrase potholed to DidNotDoTheResearch.
** Take another if a more specific page, such as MisplacedWildlife, would have worked better.
* Take two sips every time something is called a {{Narm}} even though it doesn't actually make the scene funny.
* Drink the whole glass one sip at a time if somebody potholes [[AllBlueEntry e]][[ExpansionPackPast v]][[BlackAdder e]][[FlashGordon r]][[LampshadeHanging y]] [[HeyItsThatVoice s]][[YouKnowThatShow i]][[AskTheTropers n]][[JackChick g]][[TropersDoItWithoutNotability l]][[MemeticMutation e]] [[DarkKnightTrilogy l]][[BlakesSeven e]][[GentleGiant t]][[LargeHam t]][[{{BRIANBLESSED}} E]][[YellowPeril r]] of a word.
* Down two glasses [[supersecretspoiler: every time you uncover a supersecretspoiler like this one.]]
* Drink the whole glass if a trope from {{Discworld}} is mentioned and it ''isn't'' an example of a subversion.
* Take a sip if an ''IrregularWebcomic'' example mentions that the strip's commentary includes a link to this trope page.
** Or ''DarthsAndDroids''.
** Take three sips if the example specifically mentions that the commentary does '''not''' link to TV Tropes.
* Take a sip if an ''OrderOfTheStick'' example refers to a strip less than three hours old.
** Take two sips if you were about to add it yourself.
** Three sips if the text refers to "a recent" or "the latest" strip but the strip is now more than three months old.
*** Finish the glass if you can't figure out which strip is referred to without an ArchiveTrawl
** These rules also apply to {{xkcd}}.
* Take a sip if a ''{{Warhammer 40000}}'' example is described as taking the trope to "extremes" or "ridiculous levels".
** [[SpitTake Spray that sip across the room]] if it turns out ''not'' [[{{Troperiffic}} to be true]].
* Take a drink if a MahouSenseiNegima example mentions that it is actually a {{Shounen}} series that is made to look like an UnwantedHarem.
* Take a sip for every instance of the phrase "notable aversion" or "notable exception."
** Drain the whole bottle if you think the aversion actually ''is'' notable.
* Take a sip from a friend's glass when you see the phrase "you are not alone". If you have no friends present (or no friends at all), immediately abandon the page you're on and continue the drinking game from IneffectualLoner, LonersAreFreaks, or, if you are young and female, ShrinkingViolet.
* Take a sip if you see an unflattering reference to some work that goes out of the way to address the author/creator by name.
* Take a sip if an example is mentioned as being "''the absolute'' '''''epitome''''' ''of this trope''"
** Take another sip if there is no explanation or support for this claim.
* Take a sip if someone says "Some people, ThisTroper included," letting you know they have a certain opinion, but [[{{Astroturf}} totally aren't the only one they know that thinks that]].
* Take a sip every time the TropeCodifier [[OlderThanTheyThink is identified as]] the TropeMaker.
** Take a sip every time UrExample is abused to mean "ultimate example".
** Take a sip every time TruthInTelevision is abused to designate a TroperTales example.
* Take a sip every time the same trope is linked to twice in the same sentence, or in consecutive sentences.
* Take zero sips for every aversion listed on a non-omnipresent trope.
* Take a shot every time you see somebody PotHole a show using a character's name without actually giving the name of the show in text (making it impossible to search for the show on that page).
** Take three shots and then juggle the glasses if somebody italicizes the show's name and then PotHoles a character instead of, y'know, ''using the name of the show to link to the show's page.''
* Take a sip if an example lists by number the installments of a series that does not use {{Numbered Sequel}}s, such as ''FireEmblem''.
* Take a sip every time a [[GratuitousForeignLanguage foreign term]] is [[NonindicativeName misused]].
** Take two sips if the misused term is from your native language.
** Take two sips if a character in the show [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] its [[YouKeepUsingThatWord misuse]].
* Take a ''loooooooong'' drink for every time someone is told to recite the MST3K Mantra, or whenever the mantra is referenced. Doesn't count on the actual page.
** Take another drink if someone complains about it again nonetheless.
** Take another drink if you feel that the question is an important one worth answering, and that the MST3KMantra feels like a way of avoiding serious discussion.
*** Put that drink back if the MST3Kmantra is just there to move said lengthy discussion to the Just Bugs Me section.
*** Alternatively, slam the drink on your head if you think that justifies complaining about not doing the research on series that don't claim to be accurate.
* Take a sip and then [[FacePalm slam your head on the nearest hard, flat surface]] every time a PotHole gets broken up into multiple identical instances of the same link by an ''italicized'' word [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready in]] ''[[YouShouldKnowThisAlready the middle]]'' [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready of it]]
* Take a sip while leaning to the right for every example (especially on Crowning Moments) where the second half is ''written in italics to emphasise how amazing this example is''.
* Take a sip for every unexplained in-joke potholed to MemeticMutation.
** Smash the bottle over your head afterwards.
* Take a sip if someone complains about not doing the research... [[WhatAnIdiot on a series that is completely meant to be non-serious.]] It is guaranteed you will not survive within the hour.
* Take a drink whenever you see "{{Hello}}. MyNameIsInigoMontoya. YouKilledMyFather. PrepareToDie."
** Dunk your head in hot and cold water until you're sober if it's not all blue.
*** Or if it ''is'' all blue, but is just one PotHole to the [[ThePrincessBride quote's source]].
* Take a swig of a completely different drink if the TropeNamer isn't an example of the trope.
* Down a swig of hot chocolate if a CrowningMomentOfHeartWarming Troper Tale talks about someone in the third person ends with "Oh and by the way? That guy/girl was me!" or any variant.
** If you actually care or your heart is warmed, go kill yourself. Don't worry; you'll be fine.
* Take a shot every time you go to a page where spoilers are a foregone conclusion, such as virtually all death tropes, yet someone still puts up spoiler tags. Take another if a majority of the page is like this and looks like a declassified government document.
* Take a drink whenever someone *coughcoughs*.
* Take a drink every time somebody links to a Youtube video which has since been removed from the site.
* Take a drink every time someone potholes a mention of Catholicism to ChristianityIsCatholic, even when it's not an example of the trope.
* Take a sip when someone [[{{Pot Hole}} Pot Holes]] a word that doesn't relate to their example or the article, but, [[{{Verbal Tic}} like]], to what they were saying/how they said something.
** Take two sips if the PotHole is to a different series which has nothing to do with the matter at hand, but they just felt like {{Entry Pimp}}ing, [[SouthPark mmkay?]]
* Take a drink every time {{xkcd}} [[http://xkcd.com/609/ 609]] is mentioned/linked to. Including now.
** A glass if it is an 'XKCD' cartoon. A bottle if it is 'Xkcd'.
Take a bottle every time someone breaks the article formatting.
** Avoid the WhatAnIdiot page at all costs.
* Take a drink every time the trope separators alternates between colon [:], parentheses [ () ] or a strike [-].
* Take two sips every time you read the same example twice because somebody was clearly so convinced they had a perfect example that they didn't bother to read the page before "adding" it. Bonus sip if the example is mentioned in contradictory terms -- as a straight example and then as a subversion, for example. Then, y'know, delete the duplicate.
* Take a sip every time there's a link to the old version of ''[[EightBitTheater 8-Bit Theater's]]'' archive. Don't bother fixing it, it'd take too long.
* Take a sip every time a PotHole leads to IfYouKnowWhatIMean instead of a DoubleEntendre when talking about a DoubleEntendre.
* Take a sip every time ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' is mentioned in the same sentence as a pot hole leading to MindScrew.
** Take two if they actually use that word.
* Take an entire barrel and commit suicide - [[GodwinsLaw by shooting yourself in the temple while simultaneously biting into a cyanide capsule]] - whenever you see someone invoking TropersLaw.
* Take a swig whenever the article quote is just another example, but somebody put it at the top because they felt it was somehow "better".
* On any of the EarWorm subpages, take a sip for every example that makes you burst singing.
* Consume a bottle of tequila everytime you see that someone have used the word ''fuck'' as an edit reason in the Page History, and shed tears when you realize that it was directed against your own edits.
* Take a sip every time an example is cited as the TropeNamer of some other trope.
** Take two sips if it's a ''former'' TropeNamer due to renaming.
* Inhale highly toxic alcoholic fumes whenever someone has mistaken TVTropesWikiDrinkingGame for [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike Complaining About Edits You Don't Like]].
* Take two drinks every time you see a statement potholing to {{Understatement}}.
* If you give up on understanding the explanation of a trope at the top of the page and just scroll down to the first example you recognize, drink for as long as you scroll.
* Take a shot every time {{Fanon}} is used as an example or to justify a trope.
* Take a shot when you see an example on a series page that has been blatantly copy/pasted from its trope page, or vice-versa.
* Chug if a ptitle redirects to a non-ptitle instead of the other way around. Example: [=~Chekhov's Cake~=] redirects to CarryingACake.
* Take a shot every time a homosexuality trope is described as "played straight", with a note in brackets saying "though not ''that'' kind of straight" (or equivalent).
* Take a drink every time someone on a TroperTales page says "Are you me?", "Are you my twin?", "I don't remember writing this, yet I must have", or a variant thereof.
* Take a drink whenever you come across [[ThePointsMeanNothing "Bonus points" and "double points"]].
* Finish the current bottle then open another if an example has very little or nothing to do with the trope and is only there as an excuse to [[FanHater sneer at the fans]] of the example's subject matter.
** Take another long pull if the example IS valid, but the editor still can't resist getting in a dig at the fan base.
* Take a sip whenever you see a non-empty page open with DescribeTopicHere.
** Finish the bottle if the next sentence is something like, "Hmm, where to start?"
* Take a drink when an entry ends with "But ''still''..."

'''Your Liver Is Currently Dialing Dr. Kevorkian's Number Edition:'''
* Take a sip every time you see the word 'trope'.
* Take a drink every time you see the word "{{egregious}}" (currently generates [[strike:609]] [[strike:735]] [[strike:775]] [[strike:787]] [[strike:815]] [[strike:959]] 1132 wicks).
** Two drinks if "egregious" is {{pothole}}d into TV Tropes Wiki Drinking Game.
** Or if it's about Egregious [[GirlGenius Heterodyne]].
*** Take three if an egregious {{pothole}} is how you initially found [[TVTropesWikiDrinkingGame this page]].
*** Take four drinks if the example is ''particularly'' [[TVTropesWikiDrinkingGame egregious]]
** Take two if the editor has in fact simply double-braced the word {{egregious}}.
** Note: For those with stomachs of steel or a death wish, try the GuideDangIt page. Twelve "egregious"es, all potholed, six of which are "particularly" egregious. That's...30 drinks. Good luck.
*** RunningGag is worse. [[{{NielJacoby}} This Troper]] prides himself on (almost) singlehandedly spelling a surefire path to painful death by cirrhosis,
*** Not to mention this very page, which is becoming an egregious example of "egregious" itself, with eight examples so far. [[{{Egregious}} Egregious egregious egregious egregious egregious]].
**** Finish off the bottle if you can still spell "egregious" by this point.
***** We apologize that "egregious" now no longer looks like a word.
* Take a drink for every example from a TropeOverdosed series.
* Take a drink for every mention of one of the TropesOfLegend.
* Take a drink for every use of a [[PredefinedMessages Prededefined Message]] in YKTTW.
* Take a drink for every [[ChekhovsPun snowcloned trope title]].
* Take a drink every time a trope is declared one of TheOldestOnesInTheBook (or one of the subtropes).
** Two drinks if it's a potholed link along the lines of "[[TheOldestOnesInTheBook You know what that makes this]]."
** Three drinks if it consists of "[[TheOldestOnesInTheBook Making this...]]"
** Finish the bottle if it's just the phrase "Making this..." without even a link.
* Take a sip for every example listed on the MagnificentBastard page. (That would, at 361 examples as of November 2009, give you liver failure by itself....)
* Count all the linked-to tropes on a page, then take that many sips.
** Two sips for each numerical discrepancy in the number of tropes counted (good for late in the game).
* Take another sip every time an example is "obligatory".
* Take a large sip for the phrase "Pick a [X]. ''Any'' [X]."
* Take a sip every time the character string "fuck" appears on a page.
** Good luck making it through the ClusterFBomb page intro!
* Take a drink whenever someone snarks at a DominicDeegan example.
** Take two drinks if it's not the actual DominicDeegan page or one of its related pages (WMG, JBM, etc)
** Down the bottle if the snarker has a valid complaint.
*** When reading through an AlternateCharacterInterpretation of the comic, take a shot every time Dominic is referred to as "Lord Domenuce". Place bets on what comes first -- alcohol poisoning or the ACI becoming entertaining.
* Take a shot, of all measures, for an example, of all examples, notes that something was done by a character, of all people.
**** Take a sip everytime 4 [=*=] or more used at the start.
***** Take 2 if at least one part of the chain does not need an added [=*=]
*Just in case you failed an attempt at assassinating a politician and need an internet-worthy (not to mention nerdy) way to die, and can still count, count all of the tabs in your web browser you've opened up as a result of your reading a page, and have a shot for each one.
*Down the rest of the bottle if someone writes down a battle cry from {{Warhammer 40000}}, then it shout out.
* Take a drink if the page image for an article is from an anime or manga. Then take another if you've never heard of it (if it doesn't say what it's from in the caption, the image or the caption will probably link to the article describing the anime or manga. In fact, you should take another drink if this is the case).

** Take two sips if you check the page history and see that {{Lurkerbunny}} was '''not''' the one who mentioned him. Of course, you'll only be able to tell if it's a recent edit. SoYeah. Her making his name a WikiWord does not count, as it wasn't the initial mention.
* On that same idea, take a sip for every positive Jay Leno mention.

* Take a sip every time someone mentions CandleJack and then doesn't fi
** -nish their sentence. Incidentally, take another sip if somebody comes by later and finishes it.
** And another sip if someone cuts themselves off while saying Candle J- oh, you know.
** And down a six-pack if someone mentions him and ''does'' finish.
*** Every time someone does it right? It is supposed to look like that: When you type Candlejack, you do not usually finish second sentence. If you do not finish the first sentence you are doing it wr
**** See, that's only one drink. Though you should probably drink another time if someone's able to go another line before abduction.

* Drain the jug if [[TheLeagueOfGentlemen Papa Lazarou]] is mentioned and there is no reference whatever to HighOctaneNightmareFuel.
* Drain the jug when you come across a ''Warhammer 40,000'' example that feels competitively written, as though the person who added it was trying to prove that ''40K'' is the best thing ever.
** Drain another jug if the entry is linked to BlackAndGreyMorality, DarkerAndEdgier, WorldHalfEmpty, or UpToEleven.
* Make yourself a White Russian and drink that every time ''TheBigLebowski'' is mentioned or {{Pot Hole}}d.

'''Teetotaller's Edition:'''

* Play the game with the same rules above, only substitute alcohol for a beverage containing caffeine (or just plain water, if you're trying to stay away from ''that.'') Instead of trying to get drunk, see how long you can hold out without a [[PottyEmergency bathroom break.]]
** Oh so ''very'' [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication inadvisable.]]
** Alternately, use your preferred spicy food item.
*** Which also works as a G-Rated Version of StripPoker--[[TroperTales I speak from experience here.]]
** Or better yet, make yourself a nice, warm pot of poison hemlock.
*** Wimp. ''Real'' men use deadly nightshade berries.
** Or, if you enjoy pain, use lemon juice. Or just eat an entire bag of Shockers. Who needs excuses, [[PerfectlyCromulentWord anywhichway]]?

* Take a sip if someone links [[{{Squick}} to]] [[DidNotDoTheResearch example]] less article ({{unwinnable}} doesn't count, every thing is covered by the sub-tropes, yet DidNotDoTheResearch does not, so it counts.)
* Take a sip for every non-example you find.
** Take another one if it's from ''TheSimpsons'', ''FamilyGuy'', or ''{{Futurama}}''.
* Take a sip if you see a red link. (Good luck with ListOfShowsThatNeedSummary or, while not as bad, DarthWiki/AllRedEntry.)
* [[hottip:*:NOT ADVISED WHILE READING THIS]]Kill yourself with alcohol overdose (or not...) when ever you read about [[spoiler:TheGame]] or [[spoiler:[[{{Rugrats}} Drew Pickles]]]]. As for the later, seeing "Drew" is fine, as long as it isn't listed as an example of [[spoiler:rugrats]], and if [[spoiler:rugrats]] isn't spoiled. Or you don't read what show it is. if you see "[[PotHole Drew]]" and it ''is'' potholed, roll over it. if it links to [[spoiler: rugrats]], your screwed.
