5 TV Drinking Games Based on Popular Series - Bingewatch and Scotch

Watching series with friends has become a cult hobby. And these TV drinking games for 5 of the Germans’ favourite series will bring some extra, humid fun to your series evening.

Weekly ritual or binge-watching marathon: watching series together with friends and diving into the zombie world of The Walking Dead* or a thrilling crime scene together is a popular pastime that has inspired more and more people in recent years.

Watching with several people, you join in the fever with the heroes, laugh at gags or are shocked by unforeseen twists, which enhances the experience immensely. In addition, during and after an episode you can discuss intensively, spin theories about what will happen next and what which series character is up to at the moment. Far from being a passive viewer, a series evening with friends is interactive pleasure!

If your group of friends also likes to drink together, TV drinking games are a great way to raise the level of interactivity while watching series! Agree on a drink that you all like and that is not too high in alcohol, and set some rules for when you have to drink during the respective series. Basically, for all film or TV drinking games, there are no limits to your imagination when it comes to setting rules. These are our tips for TV drinking games for 5 of the most popular series in Germany.

Let’s move on to what is currently the most successful series of all time, the bloodthirsty and surprising fantasy spectacle Game of Thrones, whose huge fan base also includes the authors.

Those who know and love the series know that there are plenty of opportunities to drink in it. For example, if you were to make a rule like Drink every time someone draws a sword, you probably wouldn’t make it through an entire episode before everyone was lying on the ground shattered. The following is a selection of possible rules that you should combine, vary or expand as you see fit.

• someone calls Jon Schnee a bastard
• Hodor Hodor says
• Arya calls herself a nobody
• Tyrion drinks
• someone has sex (double drink for incest!)
• someone makes a lewd joke
• Daenerys is called Khaleesi
• Arya is cheeky or doesn’t do what is asked of her

You have to drink twice if…

• a dragon breathes fire
• someone is mutilated
• Person X is declared the only rightful king of Westeros
• Faith X is declared the only true faith
• Jorah Mormont looks at his arm which is infested with grey scales
