What are the best movies for drinking games? We got you!

Drinking games while watching a movie is a great way to spend time with friends. You all get to watch a great (or horrible) movie and have fun paying attention to the patterns in the film to help you drink. This is an awesome thing to do before you head out to a bar or nightclub, or when you are starting an evening celebration!

Please Drink Responsibly

NOTE OF CAUTION: Drinking games movies can be fun but do so responsibly!  It is easy to get caught up in the fun and overdo it. Some of these movie prompts are pretty constant. It is quite possible you will not be able to finish the movie. Here are some quick helpful tips.

• Adjust your rules with your group accordingly! Add or remove rules as you see fit.
• Make sure you are mixing water into the mix. A perhaps safer way to play is to use half a bottle of water for the prompts for a while before you start your next drink!
• Have lots of snacks nearby.
• This isn’t a serious contest! Take tiny sips or larger ones depending on how you feel. Take breaks.
