Drinking Game / Wheel of Fortune

• Take one shot for every adjective the contestants use to describe their significant other and/or children during the interviews.
  • Down the full drink if the contestant uses rude adjectives as a joke.
• Take one shot if a contestant is from California. Take a full drink of all three are from there. Episodes from Seasons 38 & 39 are exempt from this since this was the case for nearly all contestants due to COVID-19.
• Take a shot anytime Pat expresses puzzlement over a contestant's occupation.
• Take a shot if the first spin of the round hits one of the Million Dollar Wedge's skinny Bankrupts.
• Take a shot if the answer is blindingly obvious and the contestant still hasn't solved, unless it's obvious they need more money.
  • Two shots anytime a puzzle has all the letters revealed and still isn't solved.
• Two shots if the bonus round contestant calls out dumb letters like "Q" or "Z," unless they're actually in the puzzle.
• Two shots every time somebody calls a letter that's already been called, or a vowel after spinning. Four if it's both.
  • Bonus shot if the letter is one that's already in the puzzle. (That's five if they spin and call a vowel that's already in the puzzle.)
• Take a shot if Pat says, "We're getting there." at some point in a round.
• Take a shot if the Round 2 category is Before & After. Take two shots if it's a Crossword. Three shots if the Crossword clue is a "blank".
• Take two shots if a contestant's guess to a Crossword puzzle is deemed unacceptable because the word AND was added to the attempt.
• Take a shot if a Crossword puzzle is solved for the house minimum. Two if it's after a misplay late in the round.
• If watching Celebrity Wheel, take a shot every time someone lands on a Million Dollar Wedge. Two shots if they land on one while already carrying one, thus counting as a $1,000 space.
• If it's a team episode, take a shot if any puzzle is solved for the house minimum. Two shots if a team solves only the $1,000 Toss-Up only to get bumped to $2,000 at the end of the game.
• Take a drink if someone solves a puzzle for the house minimum (or less than $1,000 in the Prize Puzzle round) immediately after calling one single consonant on a non-top-dollar spin.
• Take two shots anytime a contestant buys a vowel apparently simply because they can.
• Take a shot anytime a contestant calls an answer that clearly can't fit into the letters or number of letters shown.
• Take a drink if someone tries to spin the Wheel after the Final Spin.
• Take a shot if someone loses $10,000+ to Bankrupt.
  • Two shots if it's the $10,000 Mystery Wedge.
• Take a drink if the origins of a Song Title, Song Lyrics, or Song/Artist puzzle date earlier than 1990. Two drinks if it's a Bruce Springsteen, Beach Boys, or Beatles song.
  • Chug if a struggling contestant solves the puzzle incorrectly or calls a wrong letter with only one letter missing, or if it's a Toss-Up that doesn't get solved until there's only one blank left.
• Take a shot if a contestant calls a vowel after landing on Free Play (Seasons 27-38 only).
• Take a drink if the prize copy for a trip starts with the word "Discover."
• If you're watching a Secret Santa episode, take a drink for every mention of Disney. We do not suggest that you drink for character cameos.
• Take a drink any time the Toss-Up fails to be solved.
• Take a drink for any time all puzzles Triple Toss-Up gets solved by the same contestant.
• Take one shot for each of the following words that appear in the Prize Puzzle: VIBE, SUN, SAND, BEACH, WARM, WATER, POOL, TRIP, PRISTINE, or any other positive adjective.
• Take a drink if a Rhyme Time puzzle is two (or three) non-sequitur things that rhyme, or on Celebrity Wheel, a sentence that ends with "WITH [celebrity's name]".
• Take a drink if a puzzle is a format of "X IN A/THE X" (e.g. POPPING POPCORN IN THE POPCORN POPPER).
• Take two drinks if a puzzle gets zero results on Google when searching it in quotes (discounting any results related to its use on Wheel).
• Take a shot if the Final Spin lands on $5,000. A second shot if this happens after at least one contestant has spun in the round.
• Take a drink if the Speed-Up Round puzzle has any of the words VICTORY, WIN(NING), FINISH, or FIRST PLACE.
• If watching a pre-1998 episode, take a shot if Pat's Final Spin lands on a penalty wedge or a prize.
• Take a shot if a contestant wins because they solved the Prize Puzzle.
  • Take two drinks if the contestant who didn't win the Prize Puzzle ends up winning.
• Take a shot if a contestant calls CDMA in the Bonus Round. Two shots if in that order.
• Take a shot if the Bonus Round category is What Are You Doing? and the contestant picks G for one of the consonants. Two shots if they pick I for the vowel. Take a full drink if they don't even save the I for last. You may stop drinking if they end up solving the puzzle.
• Take two drinks if the Bonus Round puzzle doesn't contain any of RSTLNE. This does not happen on current episodes.
  • Three if not only that, but it doesn't contain any of the letters the contestant calls.
    • Just chug if the contestant keeps calling out bonus round answers that obviously can't be the answer because, say, they have an "E" in them, but it was revealed in the RSTLNE call that there were no "E"s in the puzzle.
• If watching Celebrity Wheel, take a drink at the end of the episode if both Bonus Rounds are lost. Add another shot if either of them are played for $100,000 or the million.
• Take a shot if the Bonus Round is played for the cash minimum (currently $40,000) or a car of equal or lesser value.
  • Two shots if the prize is higher and the Bonus Round is lost.
• In episodes where the $100,000 or Million is won in the Bonus Round, take a drink any time Pat lampshades the confetti.
  • Take two drinks if he forces the winning contestant to clean it up before or during the credits.
• Take three drinks if the contestant ends up winning more than $25,000 before the Bonus Round.
• If a contestant ends up winning more than $100,000 without landing on the $100K space on the bonus wheel, finish the entire drink.
• Take a drink if the contestant calls the vowel before all the consonants in the Bonus Round.
• Take one shot for every instance of one of the following letters that appears in the Bonus Round puzzle: J, K, Q, V, W, Z
• Down the whole drink if Pat says "[puzzle] was my nickname in high school."
• Take a full drink if you cannot watch Wheel on your local station that night due to a special or sporting event, but the same day's Jeopardy! was not affected. Two drinks if said station replaced Wheel's time slot with Jeopardy! while pre-empting the latter's slot.
• Take a shot if (and that's a big IF) the Prize Puzzle is something other than a vacation.
