Star Trek: The Next Generation
The Canonical Drinking Game
Compiled by: Mark Yocom (n9043860@henson.cc.wwu.edu)
===========================================================================
Requirements: Episode(s) of ST:TNG
This list
People (the more the merrier)
Beverages of your choice
Instructions: Simple. Watch the show, and whenever a condition is met,
take the appropriate number of drinks. The definition of
"drink" should be decided before game play starts. Usually,
a good mouthful will suffice. Optional rules are included
at the end of the list for fun variations on the "standard"
game.
Compiler's Note: I would advise taking some time before game play starts
to decide which conditions to use and which to ignore.
Remember that this list is canonical, so you probably will
_not_ want to use them all (especially with a new episode,
since you'll spend all your time reading the list, rather
than watching). Please send any corrections, suggestions,
requests, submissions, flames, etc. to the address listed
above.

Variations
===========================================================================
"Engage", "Make It So", "Energize", "Accessing", "On Screen" and "Magnify"
are shot words - you must take a drink unless you say the exact word _in
unison_ with the dialogue. Two drinks if you say the wrong word.
Whenever Riker appears in a scene, the last person to say "Oink Oink" takes
a drink.
If Troi "senses" something, everyone must stick a finger down their throats
and make gagging sounds - last one to do so takes a drink. (This one could
be dangerous in the latter stages of the game.)
At the start of a commercial break, guess who will do the next log entry.
Take a drink if you're wrong. If there's no log entry, everyone drinks.
When Data launches into a long explanation, the last person to interrupt
with "Thank you, Commander..." takes a drink. Doesn't count if you say it
after it's said on the screen.
Whenever Wesley saves the ship, throw something at the TV. Take a drink if
you don't hit Wesley.
Before the show, everyone predicts Dr. Crusher's hairstyle. Everyone who
is wrong has to take a drink.
Whenever Troi gets a headache, drink until the headache subsides.
Before the show, everyone predicts Guinan's hat style (stop sign or
teardrop). Everyone who is wrong has to take a drink.
