Whenever any of the events below occur, take as many drinks as you are directed to take.

Single Drinks

• Any reference is made to drugs (take two if it's not pot)
• Mike or Tony does something dorky
• Freshmen are referred to in a derogatory way
• Don moves in a way that apears more animal than human (this happens most of the time he's on the screen because he's so quirky -- most of the time, he moves like a spastic orangutang, but he also has moments where he looks like a snake or chipmunk as well)
• The term "Air raid" is used (makes the initiation scene kinda hard to get through)
• Slater says something funny (I've seen this movie a buttload of times, but I still crack up anytime Slater opens his mouth)
• Any paddle is seen
• The word "cool" is used
• Beer is referred to without saying the word "beer"

Double Drinks

• Any reference to the pledge agreement Pink is supposed to sign for football
• The random stoner is seen (the guy that hangs around with Slater and is always stoned, but we never learn his name).  [Note:  I've recently been told that this guy's name is Kyle.  Thanks, Bill]
• Any freshman is seen getting busted
• Wooderson expouses some of the knowledge he's gleaned from his years of experience
• Mitch touches his nose (this makes the scene with Mitch and Sabrina outside of the Emporium hard to get through -- furthermore, once you notice this, it'll drive you crazy for the rest of your life any time you see the movie)
• Any reference made to O'Banion's stupidity
• Pickford laughs maniacally
• Anyone falls, trips, or is knocked over
• Anyone repeats anything someone said earlier in the movie (regardless of the gap in time)

Three Drinks

• You hear a song that doesn't appear on either soundtrack
• Any legitimately dramatic moment (four if it appears linked to some sort of plotline)
• Cynthia says something deep

Four Drinks

• Any character says their own name
• Mike sounds like Snagglepuss
• A minor is seen with a beer in the presence of a visible sign prohibiting minors from drinking
• Anyone smokes their belt buckle
• Anytime a smiley face is seen (Note: this is truly a gem -- they are rare and well-hidden, but they are out there)

Whole Beer

• You notice something about the movie you haven't noticed before
• You see something indicating that the movie wasn't filmed in the '70's

Drink and Hold

Start a drink and continuing to drink it for the duration of the following events:

• During any kiss
• During Melvin's James Brown-esque shimmy dance on the truck at the party at the Moontower.

Variations

You might try having everyone select a character a drink either any time that character:

• Drinks
• Says something
• Is seen onscreen

You might consider adding a rule that you must take a drink anytime anyone is seen smoking any pot. Be forewarned, however, that this happens no less than 39 times over the course of the movie. I didn't include it in the main rules out of respect for the human liver.
