'round the TV for last call.
Grab a bottle, rum or gin.
Last one conscious for the win.
For more and more of Generation-Y--aka the Multi-task generation--doing just one thing at a time doesn't quite cut it anymore, and drinking while watching television certainly doesn't enter the realm of difficultly. Let's think, if most of the young demographic can drive, text, and flip through the radio while smoking a cigarette, then sitting and consuming liquid must surely be a breeze. So why not take it a step further? Why not organize some kind of game around the media you're taking part in? Why not combine the typical lazy American' two favorite pastimes: drinking and watching TV? It's questions like these that have been asked and answered nightly during primetime.
So, you're a Lostie, and if the show has gotten the best of you (like the rest of us) then you've surely stooped into some sort of drunken stupor. But, all is not lost, organize! Every time a character appears in another's flashback, take a shot. Whenever a shocking secret is revealed, have a drink. For all with strong stomachs, keep the bottle handy and have a sip every time someone is sweating, panting, or sporting a 5 o'clock shadow. And finally, whenever you ask yourself, "What the hell is going on?"--stop watching TV, get up, and hit the bar.
If all this seems too much for you, then you're not in luck. However, if mild-drinking and decent television doesn't quite fit your lifestyle, then heavy drinking and truly awful programming may be something more palatable. Does this sound like something you'd enjoy? Is suicide your game? Then look no further than ABC Family for the most horrific half-hour of your life and tune into The Secret Life of the American Teenager. It's quite simple actually, just drink when they say "sex." If you don't kill yourself from the programming, then you'll surely die from those 64 shots you took in 30 minutes time. Even the kid with down-syndrome gets in on the fun. Watching the show itself is a fate worse than death, so you needn't worry, you'll be plenty drunk before the urge to gouge your eyes out kicks in.
Drinking has always made normal games more enjoyable. It's you vs. them vs. impairment. If you can master this, then you'll surely be the champion of nights no one can remember.
Hate these shows? Hate me? Make up your own damn game!
