Drinking Games

Are you tired of the weepy family dramas, the feel-good television specials and all that peace on Earth, goodwill to men garbage? Well, take a break and head down to Paddy’s Pub in Philadelphia to have a few Christmas Eve drinks with the gang.

It’s time to get your DVD or Blu-ray and boldly go where no one has gone before. Star Trek is now available for home viewing, and that means you can finally break out the keg of Romulan ale and toast the rebirth of the legendary franchise.

This week’s round of drunken shenanigans is a special one, that gives you two options for downing booze while watching new releases. Just know that if you’re drinking during Up, you won’t want the kids in the room.

Hasbro had a mega-hit with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and the studio hoped for lightning in a bottle with their August release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. It made some green, but you might need to have a few drinks to really enjoy the film again on Blu-ray or DVD.

When you’re stuck on a Battlestar, far from the decimated Colonies of Kobol, there’s not a whole lot to do but hate on Cylons and drink yourself stupid.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, shame on the mutants! It’s the third time around for the cannibal mutants to feed on not-so-innocent people who wander into the West Virginia woods.

They say that drinking is a sin, and maybe if you do too much of it you might be dragged to hell. But apparently Alison Lohman is on her way there as well, so at least you’ll be in good company…

We at FSR love to drink. And we know that many of you love to drink, as well. This shared love has led us to a brand new (though not exactly new) feature here at FSR: The Weekly DVD Drinking Game.

Part of being a guy involves drinking while watching movies, so we thought nothing would be finer than drinking while watching I Love You, Man, which hit DVD shelves last Tuesday.

It’s the most anticipated movie of 2009, and it’s finally coming to theaters. Zack Snyder’s grim adaptation of the classic graphic novel may run 163 minutes, but it’s still a visual sight to behold. And why not behold it with Dr. Manhattan’s giant blue wang in your face and a drink in hand.

We all know that the only thing that Jason Voorhees hates more than teenagers having sex in his woods… is drunken teenagers having sex in his woods. So, be safe and do your drinking in a movie theater with the new Friday the 13th film.

It’s time for a drinking game with werewolves and vampires. You can drink either blood or booze… your choice.

Brendan Fraser is back with a new adventure film for the kids. And when you look at his career, you might feel down because he makes millions of dollars, and you’re stuck where you are. But if you see his new movie Inkheart, you might just feel a little better… with a stiff drink in you.

Try this game and see if you can make it through the movie. Either you’ll pass out from too much booze… or you’ll pass out from sheer boredom.

“If the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the Earth survives.” So says Keanu, aka Klaatu, in the big-budget remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still. This may not be a reason to celebrate, but it gives us some good reasons to drink.

Here we go with another Marvel hero franchise reboot. Was the Thomas Jane Punisher really all that bad?

There’s millions of boyfriends and TwiGuys who are going to be dragged to this film by sisters, daughters, girlfriends and wives. Those are the ones that might want to bring a flask to help numb the onslaught of teenage angst they will endure for two hours.

Order your favorite Bond drink – whether it’s a Vesper, a bourbon and water or a martini, shaken not stirred – and have some fun with this film.

Okay, we all know this is a kids’ movie, but who’s to say that you can’t enjoy a Madagascar movie if you’re a grown up? With that said, don’t go crazy with this game.

If you’re going to play this game, please please please use alcohol instead of an energy drink. We don’t want to be responsible if your aorta explodes.
